Mourning and Loss in Adults Freud had made an interesting comparison between the mourning process and melancholia in one of the so called meta-psychological papers.
The paper is entitled “Mourning and Melancholia” published in 1917. It reads as well today as the day it was published (Vol XIV, SE, p.239-58)

Mourning and Loss in Adults• Profound mourning is a reaction that takes
place after the loss of an important object through death.
• It is characterized by: a) A painful frame of mind b) Loss of interest in the outside world (in so far as it does not relate to the lost object) c) Inability to accept a new love object (which would mean replacing the lost one)

13
Mourning and Loss in Adults d) A tendency to turn away from any activity not related with thoughts of the lost one e) Little interest in anything else f) Generally sadness, crying, sleeplessness, loss of appetite, apathy (very similar to a severe depression)

Mourning and Loss in Adults
g) The disturbances of self regard (i.e., self-
accusations) typical of depression are missing
in mourning but not always.
h) Sometimes the mourner accuses himself of a
variety of things that can no longer be
corrected. Examples.

Mourning and Loss in Adults
How does the work of mourning proceeds? a) Reality testing asserts that the loved object no longer exists b) It now demands that all attachments be withdrawn from that object c) There are various degrees of resistances to that demand
![Page 17: 1 The Carter-Jenkins Center IS A NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION DEVOTED TO THE IMPROVEMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH ACROSS THE WORLD BY MEANS OF OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649e5c5503460f94b53bcf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Mourning and Loss in Adults
d) Extreme cases of the above lead to a “hallucinatory
wishful psychosis”.
e) In the above reality is abandoned and the object is
clung to as if were alive
f) Normally respect for reality gains the day
g) The decathexis nevertheless CAN NOT be done
all at once but only little by little
h) During the time of mourning the existence of the
object is in fact being prolonged
![Page 18: 1 The Carter-Jenkins Center IS A NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION DEVOTED TO THE IMPROVEMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH ACROSS THE WORLD BY MEANS OF OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649e5c5503460f94b53bcf/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Mourning and Loss in Adults
i) Each memory, each expectation gets reactivated
before the libido gets detached from it
j) Some special memories, events etc may have to
be gone through many times before the deca-
thexis takes place
k) By the time mourning work is completed the
ego is free and ready to recathect new objects

Mourning and Loss in Adults l) Freud remarked that in mourning the world has
become poor while in melancholia it is the ego
itself (morally reproachable, vilified, bad person)
m) Normal mourning may turn pathological in cases
characterized by severe ambivalence in the
relationship
n) Interminable reproaches of one’s bad behavior
towards the object dominates the picture
