Shadow grief is a type of lingering grief that resurfaces from time to time but does not persist; it
produces temporary grief. Sights, smells, or sounds can trigger shadow grief. Acute grief is a
crisis and has a definitive syndrome of somatic and psychological symptoms. Disenfranchised
grief is experienced by persons whose loss cannot be openly acknowledged or publicly mourned
because it might be socially disallowed or unsupported. Effective copers are those who can
acknowledge the loss and try to make sense of it.
