Expanding the employment quality framework: Health and precarity in the lives of black emerging adults.

The need to understand grief in the current global context, marked by crises and worldwide challenges such as pandemics, wars, and social violence, highlights the relevance of this study, since the analysis of grief, the adaptation process experienced by bereaved individuals, coping strategies, and the moment when professional help should be considered are important for mental health and collective subjective well-being. Several factors influence the elaboration and experience of grief, among which the circumstances surrounding the loss experienced by the individual stand out. Understanding aspects related to the process of loss, death, and dying is important for comprehending grief. Grief may be defined as the feeling triggered by a significant loss of the bond between a person and their object. Characterized by sadness, focus on absence, and lack of motivation, grief is not limited to death, but also includes symbolic or real losses throughout an individual’s development. Experiencing a definitive rupture may be considered traumatic, especially due to the circumstances of the loss and the importance of the absence of the lost bond. Lacan describes grief as something to be overcome in an intersubjective manner, considering that external factors, such as emotional relationships and the way individuals live in society, interfere with the overcoming process.
