TERMS

Grief is the normal process of reacting to the loss.

Bereavement is the period after a loss during which grief is experienced and mourning occurs.

Mourning is the process by which people adapt to a loss.

Competence 

“…demands awareness of personal feelings about death and thorough self‐knowledge of one’s own loss history, integrated in such a way that one’s experiences with death inform and enrich one’s clinical practice rather than detracting from or limiting it.”

Gamino and Ritter. (2012).
