Définition

  • The word bereavement is the noun form derived from the verb bereave, an Old English word that first appeared in 888 C.E. in King Alfred's translation of The Consolations of Philosophy. Since around the year 1650 the term bereft has referred to loss of immaterial possessions such as life and hope, whereas bereaved denotes a loss of a significant other such as a relative through death.
