Die Bewältigung der Trauer ist ein langer und persönlicher Prozess.
Coping with grief is a long and personal process.
'Bewältigung' (coping/overcoming) is a noun derived from the verb 'bewältigen' (to master/overcome). The ending '-ung' is often used to form feminine nouns from verbs that describe a process or a result.

The thing that is being dealt with often appears as a genitive object directly after 'Bewältigung' (coping/overcoming). This is very common in written language.

Coping with the crisis requires everyone's cooperation.
The word is often used for major challenges. Typical combinations are coping with stress, crises, problems, or grief. This also creates compounds such as 'Krisenbewältigung' (crisis management) or 'Stressbewältigung' (stress management).

solution
'die Lösung' and 'die Bewältigung' both have to do with difficult situations. 'die Lösung' means the way or method by which a problem can be ended. 'die Bewältigung' refers more to the process in which you manage, endure, or overcome a difficulty. Learners may confuse the words because a good solution can help with coping. The difference is: 'Lösung' asks about the right means; 'Bewältigung' describes successfully mastering the difficulty.
