Coping With Life's Greatest Losses
Healing at Your Own Pace
Bereavement and grief aren’t lighthearted topics. Bereavement refers to the process of recovering from the death of a loved one, and grief is a reaction to any form of loss. Both encompass a wide range of emotions such as fear, anger, and deep, deep sadness.
Recognizing the Signs
Common symptoms of grief can be physical, emotional, or social.
A few common symptoms in these
categories are:
Physical
- Crying and sighing
- Headaches
- Loss of appetite
- Difficulty sleeping
- Weakness
- Fatigue
Emotional
- Feelings of sadness and yearning
- Feelings of worry or anger
- Feelings of frustration or guilt
Social
- Feeling detached from others
- Self-isolation from social contact
- Behaving in ways that are not normal for you
When Words Aren't Enough
The process of adapting to a loss can dramatically change from person to person, depending on their background, beliefs, relationship to the person who has passed, and other factors.
Hope, Healing, and Recovery
Every grieving experience is different. A person may be able to continue their day-to-day routine after one loss, yet not be able to get out of bed after the loss of someone else. Whatever your personal symptoms are, grief and bereavement counseling has been proven to help.
