Grief's Effects on Health

Grief has a profound effect on a person's physical health. As a person deals with grief, symptoms such as insomnia, loss of appetite, exhaustion, trouble concentrating are often present. In addition, while dealing with grief, a person also experiences feelings of guilt, anxiety, anger, worry, and often a spiritual crisis as the person questions their faith and religious dogma. http://www.recover-from-grief.com/effects-of-bereavement.html

Most experts in healthy grieving stress these effects and advise the grieving person to delay making major decisions for a significant period of time. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/end-of-life/in-depth/grief/art-20047261?pg=2

Having experienced significant grief in my own life, I do not believe it is wise for Joe Biden to decide to run for president. He needs time to heal and America needs a president who is fully ready and able to take up the great burden of leadership that the presidency entails.
