What is the difference between maturational, situational and traumatic grief?
The main difference between the two types (situational and maturational) is that maturational losses are those that are "expected" as we develop from infanthood to adulthood and onward. Situational losses are usually unexpected and can create mostly unpleasant changes in our lives.
Traumatic, sometimes called an adventitious crisis can include a natural disaster, such as a tornado, hurricane, or fire. It can include a national emergency, such as a terrorist attack, or it can include a violent crime, such as sexual assault.
