Definition
- Chronic sorrow refers to frequently misunderstood, unrecognized, pervasive, continuing, and resurgent grief responses that result from coping with loss due to significant permanent injury, illness, disability, or progressive deterioration of oneself (self-loss) or another living person (otherloss) to whom there is a deep attachment. As the source of the loss is ongoing, grief responses are usually life-long. [Source: Encyclopedia of Death and the Human Experience; Chronic Sorrow]
