Faced lift grievously troubled (9)

I believe the answer is:

afflicted

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'troubled' is the definition.
('afflict' can be a synonym of 'trouble')

'faced lift grievously' is the wordplay.
'faced lift' can be anagrammed to 'AFFLICTED'.
Though, I am not clear how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for afflicted that I've seen before include "Caused pain to" , "Diseased; suffering" , "Troubled" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
