Lesson Overview

27.36 – When Grief Turns Into Depression: Sometimes grief deepens beyond mourning into a heavy fog that won’t lift. If sadness becomes constant numbness or hopelessness, it may have crossed into depression. Warning signs include losing interest in everything, disrupted sleep, or feeling life no longer matters. This isn’t failure—it’s your mind signaling exhaustion. Professional help can reconnect you to balance through therapy or medication. Talking to a trusted adult early prevents isolation from hardening into despair. Depression lies by saying nothing will change, but support proves otherwise. Movement, sunlight, and structure rebuild small sparks of motivation. Healing takes longer when grief and depression intertwine, but both can improve with care. Recognizing the shift is bravery, not weakness. Grief honors love lost; depression forgets the self that remains. Treatment doesn’t erase sadness—it teaches you how to coexist with memory while rediscovering the will to live again.
