Situational loss occurs as a result of an unpredictable life event.A situational loss often involves multiple losses.A divorce,for example,begins with the loss of a life companion,but often leads to financial strain,changes in living arrangements.Perceived losses are uniquely experienced by a grieving person and are often less obvious to others.A perceived loss is very real to the person who has had a loss.For example,a person perceives she is less loved by her parents and experiences a loss of self-esteem.People experience maturational losses as they go through a lifetime of normal developmental processes.For example,when a child goes to school for the first time she will spend less time with her parents,leading to a change in the parent-child relationship.There is no such thing as a conditional loss.
