Bereavement leave is a period in which a person is placed on temporary leave from either a work place and/or educational institute for the reasons of the loss of a friend or family.
Technically the period does not have a time limit. It usually lasts as long as the person needs in order to recover before feeling capable to working again. If the period lasts too long, the person can be placed on permanent leave if there is no expressed intention to return to work or education after a period which is decided upon by said work place or educational institute.
