CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this quiz measure?
It is a brief self-report check-in on grief-related thoughts, feelings, and day-to-day functioning after a death. Results are intended for reflection and to indicate whether additional support may be needed.
Can the results diagnose complicated or prolonged grief?
No. The score bands are unvalidated reflective summaries and are not clinical cutoffs or a diagnosis.
How long does it take and how many items are included?
It typically takes about 10 minutes to complete. It includes 15 questions.
How should responses be chosen?
Answer based on recent experience and typical days rather than rare extremes. Select the option that best matches overall impact, even if some items fit more than others.
What should be done if there are safety or urgent health concerns?
If there is risk of self-harm, inability to stay safe, or urgent medical symptoms, contact local emergency services or a crisis line immediately. This quiz is not intended for emergency situations.

About This Assessment

Grief Quiz - Symptoms and Signs

Take this free, no-sign-up grief quiz to reflect on how a death is affecting your thoughts, daily life, and immediate need for support. It cannot diagnose complicated or prolonged grief, and its score bands are unvalidated reflective summaries—not clinical cutoffs. Grief varies with time, culture, circumstances, and your relationship to the person who died. If you may harm yourself, cannot stay safe, or are medically unwell, contact local emergency services or a crisis line now.
