1 -- According to Freud’s theory of grief and loss, the inability to grieve a loss results in depression. This is what the patient is experiencing by the inability sleep and seeing no reason to continue living without his spouse. Grieving is the inner labor of mourning a loss. The patient is not grieving. Emancipation and denial are not elements of Freud’s theory of grief and loss.
