We examine 4 broad categories that arise in situations of Grief & Loss. 1) Types of Losses - Loss of a loved one, job, relationship and home are typical large scale losses. In the area of losing a loved one we could be dealing with accidental death, death due to long-term illness, murder or suicide - each having their own special requirements. 2) Shock - Denial - Numbing Out: Typical firs reactions to the news. How to get past that. How to accept the reality of the event. And how to move toward grieving and mourning. 3) Grieving & Mourning: Getting the right kind of help - grief counselors, grief support groups, online grief support communities. Relying on friends and family. 4) Getting on with your Life: While grieving continues, moving back into routine, making good use of our support network, relying on family and friends, re-immersing oneself in life. Grieving may go on for some time. Journaling as a private method of dealing with feelings. |
