The Importance Of Coping With Grief

Losing someone can be very hard; however, especially if they were suffering when they were alive or just didn’t want to live anymore, it is comforting knowing that they aren’t suffering anymore-they are at peace. When my great grandmother was still alive, she was suffering from depression and just wasn’t in good health. Anyone could tell she wanted to die to be with her husband, my great grandfather. Knowing that she is happier now and not suffering anymore, puts me at ease. She lived her life as a strong women and very brave. I am proud to be her great

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

Life involves many losses. There are small losses: losing a football game, failing a test, or forgetting an assignment. At some point, though, all of us will experience a major loss: the death of a close family member, a major illness, or a divorce in the family. Loss is inevitable for all of us. If you have ever experienced grief and loss, or if you are currently experiencing it, then you might be trying to recover the wrong way. You might believe that you have gotten over it, but it could come back even years later. When it comes to grief and loss, there are a lot of components that people do not understand, but today there are many methods to coop that will lead you down the path of healing.

A loss is something most people find difficult to deal with. A term commonly used to refer to loss is been bereavement, which is the position of having lately departed with someone important in one’s life through death. It is normal in the human world to experience such a loss and people ought to know how to manage such experiences when they do happen. Bereavement is never easy; it is a period that individuals experience too much suffering that leaves them feeling vulnerable. Some people are also at risk of developing physical health and mental problems. It can take months or

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.

Some individuals may struggle with the grieving process. Poor coping mechanisms can lead to major depressive disorders and even anxiety. Grieving individuals may exhibit signs and symptoms of poor physical health because they stop taking care of themselves. Widows and widowers have 8 to 50 times higher suicide rate than the overall population (Snyder, 2009).

Despicable. A stronger word need to be invented to describe the intense immense suffering Elie Weisel was forced to endure. Grief is a highly complex subject that needs to be sensitively approached like how an adept surgeon would reattach frayed nerve endings. There is no textbook answer that will "fix" things. Each person uniquely responds to grief and trauma. The intensity of grief will often fade over time but there is no guarantee of it disappearing. I would approach Wiesel with these thoughts in mind and would have prayed for the Lord's guidance ahead of time. I would also have a few of my brothers and sisters in Christ praying for Elie as our conversation took place. The first thing I would do is tell him how sorry

Death is something that never gets easier to process. Every time you lose a person close to you, whether it is expected or not, it is a hard challenge to overcome. Whether you are young or older, the death of that person has a way of entering your thoughts and affecting your moods or actions. Sometimes the memory of someone they have lost can follow a person for years after the fact or only for a short time. Different people have different ways of accepting that person's absence and working through their grief.

Dying is a natural phenomenon which affects everyone; however, nobody stops to think about it and its implications. If humans truly reflected on what dying meant, it would affect the way they live. Mitch Album, author of Tuesdays with Morrie, was able to study and learn much about life from Morrie Schwartz, his old college professor, who wanted to impart the knowledge he learned as he died to Mitch so he could learn how to live. Morrie believed, “’Once you learn how to die you learn how to live’” (P. 82 M).

Loss affects people in various ways, but especially when it is the loss of someone they are in close relations to, whether it is a loved one, relative or good friend. Going through the physical, mental, emotional and even spiritual impacts that come with the events of a death can really influence the life of the person dealing with the loss. Understanding how people grieve after experience a traumatic event such as death and dying was the main influence for Elizabeth Kübler-Ross’ study which developed into the model we are familiar with now: Kübler-Ross 5 Stages of Grief (Sotelo, Livingood, Sanden, & Webb, 2015). Death, dying and grief are things that every person will face one way or another, and how people react and live on

Being told you no longer work for the company brings on a string of emotions such as denial, shock and anger; which are common reactions to loss. Grieving the loss of a job and initial reactions to the news may spark emotions of denial, shock, or even anger. In an article published by the Mental Health Center titled, “Coping With Grief”, they stated that “Grief is a natural response to the loss of someone or something very dear to us. Losses that my lead to grief include the death or separation of a loved one, (and the) loss of a job…” (Mental Health 2014) In a personal interview of an employee, that would like to remain anonymous, we briefly discussed how management told the employee that they would be moved to a lesser paying position

Grief can sometimes be thought of as something that should be avoided, however it is a normal process that allows individuals to process a loss. Leming and Dickinson (2010) suggested that in a normal

Sometimes, mourning is the best way for someone to accept the reality of the situation they are in. Research has shown that if a person goes through a loss of any kind, they will most likely go through what has been termed as “the stages of grief.” In some cases, the loss of a loved one could be seen from a distance, but in other cases, it can leave a person blindsided. After a loss of a loved one, those affected by it will often find themselves in denial, and wondering why it happened or what they could`ve done to change the outcome. Then, that feeling of helplessness and confusion will turn into anger, which can be dangerous to those surrounding the person, as well as the person`s own emotional health. But after the feelings of rage settle, some people will find themselves beginning to accept that someone whom they loved has left their lives. This is the one stage of grief that can linger for a very long time, and some people will never be able to get out of this stage, which can eventually lead to depression and other emotional issues. But after a person affected has his or her required amount time to mourn the loss, he or she may finally be able to completely accept the situation and move on with their individual lives.

The effects of grief are abundant and in many categories. They mostly influence people in three ways – physically, psychologically, and spiritually. It affects them greatly and it is hard to hide it. Some people try to deal with it on their own, some talk to a psychologist, and some simply turn to their loved ones. They all deal with it in different ways, but it is agreed that it shows. They may show a variety of different reactions like denial, anger, depression, or even acceptance. Getting over loss takes time. For some, it may take years. For some, maybe just a couple months. The

It may be family members, friends, or intimate relationship partner. This loss brings out the deepest of human wounds. It may arise shared feelings including sorrow, sadness, fear, hurt, confusion, depression, loneliness, anger, despair, shame and guilty. The psychological process of grieving includes the following; opening to the presence of the loss, dispelling misconceptions about grief, embracing the uniqueness of the pain, exploring the feeling of loss, recognizing that an individual is not crazy, understanding the needs of mourning, nurturing oneself, reaching out to the others, seeking reconciliation and appreciating one’s process of transformation (Corey, G., & Corey, M. S, 2014). I will help the families of the victims in their bereavement by accomplishing the mentioned tasks. First, I will make them understand the reality of loss and will contribute to accept the same. I will tell family members that everyone have to go one day eventually. This is the bitter facts about the life. Thus, I will convince them to accept the reality of the loss. Second, I will work through the pain of grief and help them to express their emotional pain about loss, and at the same time will nurture themselves both physically and emotionally. Third, I will assist them with adjusting to the environment in which deceased is missing. I will help them to learn to develop a new relationship with the
