When grief persists for months or years without relief, it can alter every dimension of an individual's life, leaving them stuck in a cycle of emotional exhaustion and daily disruption. Whether caused by the loss of a loved one or life-altering non-death transitions like divorce or career shifts, long-term grief requires specialized psychological care.
