description

The construction of a person's identity is an evolutionary process. Living implies passing through a series of bereavements and this development gives time to the ego for the management of loss. It also permits recovery from the transitory moments of alteration of identity (Grinberg, 1980). As it has been thoroughly documented, in problematic cases, if the management of bereavement fails, serious disturbances in bereavement or pathological formations happen (Gamo & Pazos, 2009).
