Although the words may appear to mean the same thing, grief and mourning actually have very different meanings. In the most simple comparison, grief is internal and mourning is external. Grief is the emotional response that a person has to a loss and often follows a pattern of emotional states, shock, rage, depression, etc. Mourning is the process one goes through to find a new normal after losing a loved one. It is any actions someone takes to cope/work through the time after a loss.
