DO YOU FEEL INTENSE EMOTIONS ABOUT A LOSS THAT NEVER SEEM TO GET BETTER?
Although grief is an inevitable part of life, the loss of a loved one is always an unexpected and challenging situation to cope with, even when the loss is expected.
As time passes, most come to terms with their loss and learn to cope in their own ways. Others, however, struggle with grief for prolonged periods without improvement, and as a result, their ability to carry on with daily activities is disrupted.
DO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RESONATE WITH YOU?
1. You can’t seem to stop crying every time you think about your loss.
2. You feel angry at the loss that has happened, but feel guilty for feeling that way.
3. You hide your feelings because you feel as though you are burdening others with your feelings.
4. You’re losing sleep, having appetite changes, or experiencing physical pain or illness.
5. You have been grieving the loss of someone for a long-time.
6. Your grief is interfering with your daily activities and the things you enjoy in life.
7. You feel shameful and guilty.
8. Your emotions are spilling over into other relationships in your life.
9. You avoid like the plague anything to do with your loss.
If any of these describe you, I am here to tell you that you are not alone. There is no right way to grieve and everyone reacts to loss differently and grieves in their own way. There is also no normal duration for grief, it may take months or years to accept your loss. Most people can recover from loss with the help of social supports and healthy coping mechanisms.
