"None ever told me that grief felt so like fear"

Grief can lead to significant fatigue, making it hard to carry out daily activities. People may experience insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns. Grief can cause changes in appetite, leading to weight loss or gain. Individuals might experience headaches, muscle tension, or other physical aches. Grief can weaken the immune system, making one more susceptible to illness. 

A person may experience intense feelings of sadness, anger, guilt, or despair. Grief can exacerbate symptoms of depression and anxiety. Someone may have difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or remembering things that have occurred. People may isolate themselves from friends and family. Grief often leads to questioning life's meaning and one's purpose.
