Your Grief Journey
While dealing with grief is not easy. Should you need additional support in grieving your loss, please call us. We will do everything we can to assist you or provide grief resources for you to utilize.
Helping Someone in Mourning
Though you may part company with the bereaved after the funeral, a true friend doesn't stay away long. A great friend keeps checking in.
Other simple tips include these:
- Ask how the bereaved person feels and listen to the answer. Don’t assume you know how they will feel on any given day.
- Listen and give support, but don’t try to force someone if they’re not ready to talk.
- Accept whatever feelings the person expresses. Even if you can’t imagine feeling like they do, never tell them how they should or shouldn’t feel.
- Give reassurance without minimizing the loss. Try to have empathy with the person without assuming you know how they feel.
You Aren't Alone
The stress of grieving in isolation can be unbearable. Even if you endure the ups-and-downs of bereavement on your own, the grief work you do will likely still be compromised. It is not time that heals. Instead, healing comes with validation.
Whatever you do, if you feel those around you are not supportive of your bereavement, let them know how you feel and what you're thinking. In doing so, you're educating them on the essential truth of bereavement: all losses are worthy of recognition and acknowledgement, and all those in mourning have the right to grieve.
When Grief Doesn't Ease
Sometimes it feels as if your bereavement will never end, and you’d give anything to have the pain go away. You are not the only bereaved who has longed for some measure of relief.
Grief counselors and therapists tell us that the length of time it takes anyone to grieve the loss of someone they held dear to them is dependent on the situation, how attached you were to the deceased, how they died, your age and your gender. So many variables exist, and there’s absolutely no way to predict how long it will take for you to adapt to your loss.
