The impact of political events, actions, policies and ideologies can be both profound and far reaching, with many people experiencing significant losses and major grief as a consequence. There is now a growing interest in what has come to be known as political grief. This paper has been developed by a working group of grief professionals to reflect the basis of the group's discussions and the conclusions drawn. It seeks to provide an understanding of political grief and its consequences and explores a number of examples of major political events that can be seen to have given rise to significant losses and generated considerable grief
