Grief's Physical Effects
Captions available
The idea
Grief brings sadness, anger, loneliness and guilt, and physical effects: weaker immunity and a higher risk of heart attack and death, partly through cortisol.
In practice
Friends and family in Kenya and Uganda arranging the funeral and helping with childcare, housework and money.
Where people slip
Bereaved people do not always seek or value help; support that fits the person matters.
