Dealing With Grief - Everyone Does it
Differently
By Jamie Rona
Everyone has experienced grief even once in his or her
life. You grieve over loss of something or someone
important to you. Others grieve when they fail in
achieving a dream. Although each has experienced the
same sentiments, not all have the same ways of dealing
with grief. Different people deal differently with their
losses or failure in life. However, there are some
positive ways to deal with the situation. Here are the
easier ways of dealing with grief.
Acceptance
Denial for the loss or failure is the initial stage in
dealing with grief. However, you cannot stay in this
stage for a long time. You need to face the whole
situation and accept the loss or failure. Although it
may not be easy at first, acceptance is the key to
dealing with grief. When you learn to accept you the
condition, then everything becomes easier. The process
may take longer than you actually think. The stage can
be a case-to-case situation. Depending own your own
pace, you can find ways to help it flow smoothly. Some
people suffering from grief try to move faster in
dealing with grief and they tend to underestimate this
stage. In the end, they fail in the whole process
because they have not completely accepted the situation.
It is therefore important to embrace the situation well
before proceeding to the next stage.
Talk about it
Some people want to keep the problem within them.
However, many feel more comfortable talking about the
grief rather than keeping it. One way in dealing with
grief is to confide your feelings to a trusted person.
This can be your best friend or a close family member.
When you express your feelings, you have someone to
share it with, which helps lighten your burden. As they
say, dealing with grief is lighter when you have someone
to share it with.
Join a Support Group
If you think you can no longer keep dealing with grief
alone, you can look for support groups. Support groups
can be your acquaintances or other people who have the
common situation as yours. You can find them in your
local community or in the online community. All you need
is to go out from your hiding place and share it with
someone.
Consult a Counselor
Counselors are always available if you need their help.
They can assist you in dealing with grief. By helping
you using scientifically proven ways of releasing your
feelings, these people can assist you in the most
professional way possible.
Grief is inevitable in one's life. However, dealing with
grief is easy as long as you know that you are not alone
and there are people who care enough for you.
Jamie knows about the importance of making memories and
remembering those who have left this life. She inherited
a large box of slides from her grandparents that she
wanted to share with family members so she really needed
to find a way to preserve them. She uses a film slide
scanner to make the job easier. Learn about slide
