The document is a Brief Grief Questionnaire (BGQ) developed by Katherine Shear M.D. and Susan Essock Ph.D. for assessing the impact of grief on individuals following the death of a loved one. It includes a series of questions aimed at evaluating the acceptance of loss, interference with daily life, intrusive thoughts about the deceased, avoidance behaviors, and feelings of disconnection from others. A total score of 4 or higher indicates a positive screen for complicated grief.
