How Do We Deal With The Loss Of A Loved One?

By Jacob Walker

Grief is a person's innate response to loss. Grief is the anguish you experience when you lose something that or someone who is an important part of your life.

Several instances of mourning for the loss of someone or something are the following:

- a falling out with a person you have are in a relationship with - you lost your career - you lost the single chance to go after what you love doing the most - a loved one is dying from a serious illness - the medical tests came in and you found out that you have a serious illness - you and your spouse are getting a divorce - you destroyed the trust of your best friend - the pet that you had for a long time passed away - a loved one passed away suddenly

These situations can all lead to an experience of grieving. Of all the examples cited above, we experience the most powerful grief if a loved one - be this a child, a parent, or a spouse - dies. There is nothing that will be able to fill the emptiness that suddenly springs up in our life when they die.

We may have shared a huge part of our existence with the people who passed away. And life would never be the same again without them. We mourn our loss. Still, to be able to move forward once more, we must undergo the grieving process and reclaim the fragments of our lives.

There is no correct or incorrect way to grieve. Yet we must choose non-destructive ways to channel the pail, which can encourage the healing that we need after experiencing loss.

Grieving is often equated with continual crying each time the memory of a beloved crosses our mind. Tears are not the only indicators of grief. One can seem unemotional on the outside yet suffer from the pain of loss within.

In addition, grieving, in contradiction to what is usually said, does not encompass a set time period. How long the grieving process lasts will vary from person to person. No one should be rushed and "get over" the grief that they are feeling. Permit time to heal your pain.
