The research suggests climate-related ecological losses trigger grief experiences in multiple ways, including people grieving for lost landscapes,

or PTSD after experiencing an extreme weather event,"

said Katie Hayes, a PhD candidate at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto.

"And that is really disorienting."
