Even though we are all aware that living and dying are part of our life cycle, facing the inevitable reality of death can be an overwhelming task. We are here to provide you with support and guidance as you navigate the complexities of this experience.
Grief encompasses a wide range of emotions that arise when someone dear to you passes away. While these emotions vary from person to person, they often include:
- Numbness: Especially when the loss is sudden, it can be difficult to comprehend that your loved one is no longer with you. You might find yourself acting as though they're still present, which is a natural response.
- Anger: It's not uncommon to feel a sense of injustice or wrongness about the loss. Sometimes, this anger extends to the departed individual for leaving you behind.
- Guilt: People often reflect on their interactions with the deceased and might feel regret for things unsaid or actions not taken. Some even place blame on themselves for what happened.
- Frustration: The helplessness that comes with losing someone significant can lead to confusion and frustration, as you grapple with the reality that you can't bring them back.
- Depression: Feeling profound sadness is a common response to the death of a loved one. It's okay to experience these emotions as part of the grieving process.
- Tiredness: The emotional toll of grief can manifest physically, affecting sleep patterns and appetite.
