Stress is part of life. It is something we all experience from time to time. Sometimes it reflects our own busy lifestyles or key moments such as exams, moving house, organising an event, or coping with a bereavement. Often it is associated with work: meeting a deadline, dealing with difficult people, or meeting stretching targets.

British Politician

Peter Capaldi

Scottish Actor

Henri Nouwen

Never does one feel oneself so utterly helpless as in trying to speak comfort for great bereavement. I will not try it. Time is the only comforter for the loss of a mother.

William Inge

Bereavement is the deepest initiation into the mysteries of human life, an initiation more searching and profound than even happy love.

English Clergyman

Sheila Hancock

When you've been bereaved, you expect other people to rescue you, but I'm afraid they can't - it's down to you.

Yitzhak Shamir

Wars have not solved anything in our region. They have only caused misery, suffering, bereavement, and hatred.

Israeli Statesman

Use 'bereave' when a valuable person or thing is lost unwillingly and it's out of one’s control.

Forced Loss

'Bereave' implies a deep sense of loss, often bringing strong emotional pain.

Strong Emotion

'Bereave' in this context means someone is overwhelmed by sadness due to death.
