Prolonged grief disorder
Prolonged grief disorder (PGD) refers to a syndrome consisting of a distinct set of symptoms following the death of a loved one that are so prolonged and intense that they exceed the expectably wide range of individual and cultural variability. PGD is relatively rare – experienced by about 10 percent of bereaved survivors, though rates vary depending on the circumstances. This is grief that does not resolve naturally and persists into the indefinite future as a defining feature that severely adversely affects the life of the survivor. The affected person is incapacitated by grief, so focused on the loss that it is difficult to care about much else. S/he ruminates about the death and longs for a reunion with the departed, feeling unsure of his/her identity and place in the world. His/her life is flat and dull, offering little meaning or purpose, and the future holds no prospect of joy, satisfaction or pleasure. The bereaved person who suffers from PGD feels devalued and in constant turmoil, with an inability to adjust to (if not a frank protest against) life without the beloved.
PGD is defined by its symptoms, duration and intensity. The symptoms are yearning intensely for the person, identity confusion, difficulty accepting the loss, bitterness, emotional numbness, inability to trust others and feeling stuck in grief. These are present every day, cause significant distress and functional impairment and remain intense, frequent and disabling for six months or more after the death.〔Frances, A. (2012, February 28).

==Description==
Grief is a normal response to bereavement. Researchers have found that 10-20% of people experience a prolonged response to bereavement that impacts functioning and has adverse long-term effects on health.
Prolonged grief is considered when an individual’s ability to function and level of distress over the loss is extreme and persistent. People with PGD feel "stuck" in their grief, a chronic aching and yearning for a cherished person who is now gone, feel that they are not the same person anymore (e.g., unsure of their identity, loss of a sense of self and self-worth), feel emotionally disconnected from others, and lack the desire to "move on" (and sometimes feeling that doing so would be a betrayal of the person who is now gone).〔
