Grief gets under your skin. Grief hurts. It hurts that much that you lose a close friend, and that hurt turns into full blown grief. People who are already depressed it is bad for them to face such situation.. In fact, if you have depression, you are likely to continue to experience depression for the rest of your life. You need to take care of yourself. What goes on inside your head is a reflection of what is happening inside your body. So take good care of yourself by doing healthy things.
Many of us fall into despair because we have no idea what to do next. We do not want to face our grieving and that can prevent us from dealing with whatever grief or loss we are confronting. A lack of support can also be a major problem. As with all grief, our grief can be compounded by the loss of another loved one. Some loss is inevitable, but for many it is not.
Traumatic events, which range from physical trauma such as car accidents, shootings or wounds to emotional trauma such as the death of a loved one or sexual abuse, can create mental health challenges. However, not everyone who is a victim of a traumatic event is at risk for developing post-traumatic stress disorder.
It is through this process of grieving that the thinking functions of our brains return to normal. However, emotional processing functions are different; they're called the "introspection" function and they become impaired. Our bodies provide two methods for dealing with emotional or psychological harm, one is to engage in "denial" that it's really happening, and the other is to engage in a process called "processing." Denial.
In the weeks after a loss, it is important to be able to provide support for your loved one, both emotionally and physically. At this time you also need to create a safe space, to honor your loved one, to figure out your emotions and get you through the grieving process. I suggest you also create a recovery plan for yourself.
A two-part checklist of changes that may help you gain relief from grief can be helpful. Remain positive, take a deep breath, and seek comfort with friends and family. Become more positive in outlook. Find ways to be productive in the days and weeks after your loss. Discuss loss with someone who understands what you're going through. Learn about grief recovery, and implement it in life.
Sometimes we may have psychological barriers to grieving that prevent us from opening up and connecting with others, or find it hard to express how we are feeling. Working through the emotional loss of a loved one can also require sacrifice on our part, as our loved ones may be taking on the bulk of our emotional burden. Whatever the reason for a family member's death, please understand that it is not our personal fault if a loved dies.
