Zusammenfassung
Trauer nach dem Tod einer nahe stehenden Person ist ein normaler, wenn auch häufig sehr schmerzhafter und langwieriger Prozess. Trauer an sich ist daher, trotz ihrer sehr unterschiedlichen Erscheinungsformen und Verläufe keine psychische Störung. Allerdings zeigt ein kleiner Teil der Trauernden eine Symptomatik, die zu Einschränkungen im täglichen Leben führt, die länger andauert und intensiver und schmerzhafter erlebt wird als bei den meisten Trauernden. Für diese Form der abnormen Trauer wurden unterschiedliche Begriffe verwendet, z. B. der Begriff »komplizierte Trauer«. Dieser ist durch eine in Einzelaspekten der posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung (PTBS) ähnliche Symptomatik gekennzeichnet, unterscheidet sich allerdings in relevanten Aspekten, und zwar vor allem durch den erlebten Trennungsschmerz. Komplizierte Trauer kann teilweise als eine Traumafolgestörung zu verstehen sein — nämlich wenn Verlust und Tod im Rahmen eines traumatischen Ereignisses auftreten.
