Family Tragedy

Family tragedy refers to a severe and often distressing event or series of events that significantly impact a family unit. This can encompass a wide range of occurrences, such as the death of a family member, serious illnesses, accidents, or major conflicts that disrupt familial relationships. Family tragedies often evoke intense emotions, including grief, anger, and confusion, as they alter the dynamics within the family and can lead to long-lasting psychological effects.
