Depending on the context in which it is used, the word immersed will refer different questions.
Something or someone submerged in something, a liquid for example
In its use as an adjective, that is, when with respect to something or someone it is said that it is immersed, it will refer that this or that is immersed in a certain thing.
It may be that someone for example is submerged in a liquid. "Divers are currently immersed in the ocean searching for a trace of the aircraft that fell into the sea yesterday.”
Meanwhile, the action by which something or someone is immersed in a liquid, or in a special area, be it real or symbolic, is known as immersion.
The most common liquid that people get into is water.
Throughout history, immersion in a stream of water has been considered a purifying action. Many religious beliefs have believed this and have spread it among their faithful and believers who of course followed the action of immersion in water, for example to erase their sins, or to ward off evil spirits.
One of the most emblematic examples is that of the sacrament of baptism in Catholicism, which precisely involves immersion in water
Concentration
On the other hand, when someone meets focused on some issue or problem to unlock the term immersed is often used to account for this.
It is also common for it to be said that someone is very involved in an issue.
“ Juan is immersed in the precarious numbers that the sales of the last month gave to be able to find a strategy that saves the factory from closing.”
Too, when an individual remains absorbed in an activity that normally requires concentration for its performance It is often said that he is immersed in this or that activity. "Laura is immersed in reading the new book by her favorite author, practically, she does not leave it at any time of the day.”
This attitude implies a great concentration on the part of the person who is in the aforementioned state.
For example, the ideal is to abstract yourself from any type of distraction when you need to be focused on a topic, that is, avoid anything that can modify your attention.
When an exam is being prepared, when a book is being read, people tend to get into this state and move away from what distracts us, so it is likely that we will lock ourselves in a room and avoid contact with people in order to perform the work or activity without the concentration being altered by any factor.
States in which it is difficult to find a solution
And it is also usual to use the word to refer to those situations or states from which it turns out to be quite difficult to get out or find a solution to put an end to it, such as poverty, a crisis, the pain over the death of a loved one. " Unfortunately, a good part of the population of the Argentine province of Chaco is immersed in the most acute poverty. Since her son passed away, María has been in deep pain.”
Extreme personal or social situations are often complex in every way, and for example, people find it difficult to overcome them and get out of them.
When it comes to a personal situation, in most cases, what is advised to the person who is going through a state of sadness or depression due to the loss of a loved one, is to start psychological therapy with a professional to be able to speak of his grief and thus externalize all the pain.
