According to Dictionary.com, surprise means something that occurs unexpectedly with a sudden feeling of wonder or astonishment. That could be hearing from an old friend or a surprise anniversary or birthday celebration. Shock is described as a sudden or violent disturbance of the mind, emotions, or sensitivities. Examples could include a natural disaster (flood, earthquake, tornado, severe vehicle accident, fire, or sudden death). It may be unexpected. However, it usually involves something sad, negative, or unwanted. Both surprise and shock are unexpected. However, surprise more commonly involves something pleasant, while shock is more likely to involve something unpleasant. Shock can trigger PTSD or depression.
