Abstract

Grief, a reaction, resume from death is generally considered a universal, normal human reaction as well as a highly individual one. According to the cognitive approach, psychopathological grief takes the form of distorted thinking, where an excessive emotional reaction is related to negative cognitive evaluations (automatic thoughts) of oneself, the world, and the future. In the current case series, two females and one male were taken who were aged between 42 and 46 years of age and came for the intervention in a mental health clinic after the death of their offsprings. Cognitive behavioural approach was followed for intervention of total 22 sessions with pre, intermediate and post treatment assessment. The outcome of the therapy showed symptom reduction in short run, and emotional, cognitive and functional improvement in long run. This also improved their coping and helped them to focus on the future.
