Should I Grieve?
Grief is a person’s natural response to loss. Grief is the anguish you experience when you lose something that or someone who is an important part of your life.
Several instances of mourning for the loss of someone or something are the following:
– you have split up with someone – you were sacked from your job – loss of the chance to pursue a dream – a loved one is dying from a serious disease – you are diagnosed with a fatal illness – your spouse declares that the marriage is ended and needs a divorce – you lost the trust of your best friend – your pet passed away – the person you love dies suddenly
All these examples can lead us to experience grief. Nevertheless, of all the examples given, it is the death of a loved one, such as a partner, a child, or a mother or father, that gives so much pain. Nothing of this world can remove the emptiness that their death creates.
We may have shared a huge portion of our lives with the people who passed away. And life loses its former grandeur because of their demise. We grieve for our loss. Yet, in our grief, we have the hope of being able to mend our pains and strengthen our lives to move forward once more.
There are no set rules on how we must grieve. When we grieve, we have to choose the healthy ways of airing out the pain that we feel.
Grieving does not mean wailing or weeping your heart out each time you remember what you have lost. Still, tears do not constantly signify sorrow. A person may appear quiet, as if unfazed; yet deep within, they also feel the loss.
Also, contrary to the myth, grieving does not only encompass only 1 year. Grieving’s duration differs from person to person. If you are undergoing a grieving period, don’t rush yourself to instantly “get over it.” Time is a remarkable healer.
Leave the delicate matter of funeral needs in the hands of considerate professional undertakers.
