These tests are for screening. A result is not a diagnosis: only a psychiatrist or psychologist can make one, after talking with you.
Your answers are scored on this device and never sent. Only your result is saved, with the email address you confirm.
Confirm your email address
Before the test we send a 6-digit code to your email address. Your result is saved with it, so that our team can help you if you wish. The email with the code contains no health information.
The statements below describe things people may go through after losing someone they love. For each one, choose how often you experience it.
Choosing an answer takes you to the next question. You can go back at any time.
Your result
Your grief score
The higher your score, the more often and the more intensely you are experiencing grief reactions; the sub-scale scores show whether these are mainly physical, emotional, cognitive or behavioural. Grief is a natural response to loss and often eases with time. If your grief is very intense, has gone on for a long time or makes daily life much harder, it would help to see a psychiatrist or psychologist.

Take your result as a rough guide, not a diagnosis. How you feel over time, and a conversation with a specialist, tell much more than a questionnaire.
Talk it through with a specialist
If your result worries you, or you would like to talk it through, our psychiatrists can review it with you, free and without obligation.
