The concept of resilience is defined as a person’s ability to bring out unsuspected latent resources. Grief, for its part, is comprised of clearly identified steps but also of lesser known identification processes. Grief and resilience both have in common a particularly traumatic origin. They also share their temporality. Furthermore, grief and resilience share an ongoing battle of conflicting emotions and feelings. However, there are notable differences between grief and resilience. For example, the trauma from which they spring is of a different nature. Moreover, times of resilience maintain an affinity with those of grief, but are still marked by considerable differences. Resilience and mourning both appear to us as long-term processes, largely unconscious, that present analogies that aren’t similarities. It’s in the feelings experienced that the biggest difference between grief and resilience lies. Finally, similarities and differences have forged analogies between resilience and grief that can build upon each other in various ways.
