One gets you yelled at. The other gets you prayed for.
Actually, at least in Catholicism, grave sin and mortal sin are the same. I think you're talking about Venial sins. If so, the difference is that a mortal sin:
1 - Must be of a subject of serious matter;
2 - Must be committed with full knowledge of both the sin and the gravity of the offense; and,
3 - Must be completed with deliberate or complete consent.
In Catholicism, dying with a mortal sin is a guaranteed way to land in hell.

Mortal sin is the sins of the 10 Commandments. they are able to be forgiven by potential of confessing them. Venial sins are smaller sins that still may be confessed (yet do no longer could be) and don't bar you from the dominion of Heaven could you die with them on your soul. yet another huge distinction is that if a Mortal Sin is on your soul, you are able to't take communion, while with a venial sin, you are able to.

John 5: 17All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
18We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
19And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
20And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
21Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
