Regarding modern models of grief, one concept I have come across is "delayed grieving".

When a person encounters loss, some people suppress the feelings - often using drugs or alcohol - so that years later they still linger unresolved. A counsellor can guide a person to revisit these feelings. In some cases this can result in the person going through a period of grief many years after the loss - and ideally this results in resolution and more comfortable feelings.
