Instead of having to deal with this excessive amount of pain, you could distract yourself by exploring new personalities and hobbies that you didn’t know of.

Grief is defined as a type of emotional or mental suffering from a loss, sorrow, or regret (Dictionary.com, LLC, 2010). Grief affects people of all ages, races, and sexes around the world. Approximately, 36% of the world’s population does or has suffered from grief and only a mere 10% of these people will seek out help (Theravive, 2009). Once a person is suffering from grief it is important to receive treatment. All too often, people ignore grief resulting in deep depression, substance abuse, and other disorders (Theravive, 2009).

When dealing with grief you must remember that it does not last forever; you will have good and bad days. Find something that allows you to get the hurt and the pain out of your system because if it stays, it will destroy you from the inside. I found writing to be a passion because the pen and paper do not judge what I write. There were days that I wrote happy thoughts and other days that I could not write anything but death and allow my tears to smear the ink. The bad seem to come more often when you first lose a love one but you have the power to shorten them and change them to good days. Yes, you will cry and have moments because that is what makes us human but those are also the days that having a support system is towards your benefit. I can cry with my family and friends and laugh about the memories and those are the best days. Grief and heart ache will always be there but so will the memories and

Yes the body can handle many of things but grief is a hard one to do. Suffering from what happen is not the answer to any situation like this. What you should do it get up and not feel so bad about what happen. Yes, all this may affect other people’s lives but you need to think about yourself and what you could do for yourself and get over this. Take time to cool down and relax it is not the end of the
When someone goes through a time of grief, it is only natural to find a way to deal with the hardships and until it eventually goes away, but people may come to realize that the loss can never be forgotten. This process of grieving and fighting through hard times to finally come to peace and accept reality is also reflected in literature such as “Hold Tight”. The short story ¨Hold Tight¨ by Amy Bloom shows that when people deal with grief, people may try to find ways to cope with the pain by letting out their anger on others or becoming self-destructive, even though it may not be possible to completely forget the woe.

In different ways and for different lengths of time. But grieving a love one is one of the hardest thing I think a
People tend to deal or cope with death in a variety of ways, ranging from a very pleasant or healthy way to destructive. It really depends on how mentally strong and how much support you collect from family member, close friends, or possibly people who have dealt with similar trauma. Joe Manetti from “Always a Motive,” and Eric Clapton, singer and songwriter of “Tears in Heaven,” display quite an army of differences. However, they make it visible that they are not to different from one another. Clapton exposes that he is able to make it through such rough times by writing music. Joe Manetti on the other hand struggles with living with his misery because he does not have a strong outlet of emotions like Clapton does . Grief can be a
Death is a universally experienced phenomenon. In the United States alone, over 2.6 million people die each year (Center for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2015). For practitioners, it is of utmost importance to better understand the process of grief to develop better interventions for bereaved individuals.
The experience of a person losing a loved one is very difficult to accept and then cope with. “He gets all teary telling about the good times they had together, how her brother made the war seem almost fun.” pg. 67-68 (Tim O’Brien). Losing someone close to you is hard to accept because once their gone things don’t feel the same anymore and you just can’t stop thinking about them and the memories you guys shared together. It’s also very hard to cope with because you’re so used to having that person around and when their no longer there you feel so empty and that feeling is so horrible. Having to deal with the fact that someone who was so special to you is no longer there isn’t easy to accept.
Whether it is over the death of a loved one or a very emotional situation, grief is inevitable. Most individuals experience a form of grief at some point in their lifetime. Coping with a distressing situation can be a very difficult task and there are many arguments as to whether there is a set and correct method on how to deal with grief or not. Many people have created a grieving process that includes going through certain stages in order. However, this proposed grieving method is no more than a false theory. Due to the fact that every single person grieves differently, there is no way to possibly set a specific way to grieve. “A Raisin in The Sun,” by Lorraine Hansberry and “Hamlet, Prince of Denmark,” by William Shakespeare both
The book Andrew You Died Too Soon by Corinne Chilstrom gives insight on grief after a husband and wife’s youngest son, Andrew, kills himself with a firearm in their basement. Personally, I do not remember a time when I personally had to grieve but I have been in many situations where I have had to comfort those who were grieving. Through out the book there were several chapters that stuck out to me and made me take a minute to reflect on views of grief.
Grief is the act following the loss of a loved one. While grief and bereavement are normal occurrences, the grief process is a social construct of how someone should behave. The acceptable ways that people grieve change because of this construct. For a time it was not acceptable to grieve; today, however, it is seen as a necessary way to move on from death (Scheid, 2011).The grief process has been described as a multistage event, with each stage lasting for a suggested amount of time to be considered “normal” and reach resolution. The beginning stage of grief is the immediate shock, disbelief, and denial lasting from hours to weeks (Wambach, 1985). The middle stage is the acute mourning phase that can include somatic and emotional turmoil. This stage includes acknowledging the event and processing it on various levels, both mentally and physically. The final stage is a period of
Whether it is over the passing of a loved one, the end of a relationship, not getting the job they want, or maybe even failing a test, everyone will experience what it is like to grieve at some point in their lifetime. The way people grieve can be expressed in many different ways, though. Some people like to be completely alone, some like the company of others, and then there are those that act as if they are the only ones to ever go through any type of grief. The poets from the Romantic period, the Victorian age, and the twentieth century and after, all show some of the different ways in which people grieve.
