Dealing With the Death of a Loved One
By Misty Stacy
Dealing with death is a life experience that everyone
has to deal with at some point in their lives but nobody
wants to. Death, even if it is expected, comes with a
lot of questions. People question whether there is life
after death. They want to know why this happened to
them, why it happened when it happened. The loss of a
loved one is life's most stressful events and can cause
a major emotional crisis. Bereavement is the state of
having experience such loss and grief is the normal
internal reaction to the loss. Death is a part of
everyone's life and is 100% guaranteed.
When coping with death, it helps to know what to expect
when it happens. When a death takes place you may
experience a wide range of emotions. The same is true
even if the death is expected. Since there is no order
to the grieving process, many have reported various
feelings upon hearing the news. Some of the emotions you
may experience include a numb feeling, denial,
confusion, shock, sadness, anger, humiliation, despair
and guilt. All of these feelings are normal. You may
become confused and unsure of you mental status. All of
those feelings are very common. It takes time to fully
absorb the impact of a major loss. Though you never stop
missing your loved one, the pain will ease over time.
There is no right or wrong way to grieve but there are
healthy ways to cope with the pain. Grief that is
experienced and expressed has the potential for healing.
It is a very personal and individual experience. It is
also important to know that there is no time limit for
grief and different individuals take different lengths
of time to heal.
There are several factors that determine a person's
ability to handle grief. One main factor is life
experiences. What a person has already been through in
their lifetime plays a major roll in their healing
process.
There are many ways to get through the difficult times
of losing someone you lose. Talk with family and friends
about the person you lost. Share you memories and
precious moments. You can write your thoughts in a
journal. Take time each day for yourself to quiet your
mind and ease your soul. Don't be afraid to get
counseling if you think you might need it. The death of
a loved one is never an easy time and there is no shame
in going to a professional if you need to. The main
thing that you remember is what you are feeling is
normal and you will get through it.
