I believe our culture has attachment issues in general. . .all grief should be complicated grief as God intended. . .it is assuaged over time and then the memories become a reward. . .people who do not experience this over a time are stunted emotionally to some degree. . .thank the consumer culture and the obsession with the present. . .and a fear of death. . .people who have the Christian faith have the hope of seeing their loved ones again. . .a really complicated grief indeed. . .hope and sadness

Only 23 subjects. Too short with no explaination of real life symptoms. There are other kinds of complicated grief. That ought to be included. The kind that lasts for years without a death involved with great trauma. I am such a witness. Of emotional and mental trauma. It was due to loss of child custody without having harmed my only child or allowing any harm to her. She graduated high school last week I moved earth to attend. But, however during the previous decade plus I would experience great sorrow every time a child near her age was present. This is still too hard in an echo like way many days.
