Grief
Grief is a profound emotional response to the loss of a loved one. The death of a spouse or child is one of life’s most profound and traumatic losses. The trauma of trying to adjust to this loss can often overwhelm our abilities to cope with ongoing everyday problems in life. Postponing a confrontation with grief by filling each day with frantic activity will only delay and compound grief. Denying grief may temporarily separate you from your pain but in the long run will only increase emotional distress. Be aware that there may be a wide range of seemingly confusing and contradictory emotions, such as shock, numbness, anger, pain, and yearning. Grief does not proceed in an orderly fashion any more than life itself does and it may be helpful to think of grief as a cluster of emotions which overlap one another. With effort, you can and will overcome your grief. One of the myths about grief is that it has an ending point. More than time, grieving takes effort. Mourning is a natural and personal process that cannot be rushed. There may be urgent financial and legal decisions you must make following the death of your loved one. If at all possible, put off making any decisions until you feel better emotionally. When the first impact of death wears off, you may feel as if you are losing control. This is a normal part of the grieving process, with the strong feelings suffered during grief, gradually and permanently disappearing. Because you may experience a feeling of temporary instability, it's important to remember that you have the ability to cope. Remember, the stress of grief can wreak havoc on health. While guarding health can be among the least of one’s concerns during the throes of grief, one must not neglect maintaining health. This means getting some form of regular exercise and a proper diet, and adequate sleep. Sometimes, people get stuck in the grieving process unable to cope or move forward in a healthy progression toward recovering from their loss. When that happens, therapy is recommended. The Sidman Solution® has been proven effective in helping people cope with negative and destructive emotions, such as those experienced by prolonged and unrelenting grief. It, in fact, can speed up the process immensely. Contact Us Today to see how we can help you cope with your grief!
