I have recently lost my grandpa and my great aunt in the last few months. my periods seem to be getting lighter and spotty in flow. can grief effect your period flow and duration, especially over a few cycles?

Yes, grief can affect your periods. First have a physical exam by a Dr. to rule out a physical problem. Please consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy to help you with ZOOM.com sessions. Research indicates with psychotherapy you can change & find better coping mechanisms. The most complete evaluation for medication is with a Psychiatrist.
