Grief Loss and Bereavement

Yes you do. However, usually a mourner does not go to the synagogue during the shiva, but has a separate service in his home. On Tisha B'Av, since all of Jewry is in mourning, the mourner attends the synagogue service together with everyone else.

Her grief may be caused by her personal life, her personal life may be caused by her grief. It's a horrible cycle, hard to break.

This vague question was put into the Grief Loss and Bereavement Category. The phrase you have written is not specific about what you want to know. The only thing I can suggest is that you please clarify what you need to know exactly.

Comparing places means one place is somewhere and can be described one way whereas the other place is in another place and will be described a different way, such as Heaven is different from Earth and life in each place is different.

If you are an average sized man, doing an average amount of exercise you could lose up to one pound in a day- that would be if your body did not go into starvation mode and your metabolism did not slow down Obviously the smaller you are, if you are a woman, and if you do less exercise you will lose less

Jews in mourning are not required to go about their usual daily chores - friends help out instead.

• I know how it feels it feels terrible. My friend lost her grandma and she was crying I felt bad for her so I baked and cooked for her family because the family was too sad to cook. They were very grateful they asked if they could do anything for me but I said I don't want anything I am happy the way I am.
• Be there. I've dealt with someone who's lost a person truly close to them, and all I can say is to be there for them, let them cry, rant, or break things if they have to, as long as they have someone they trust and know care about them they should get better. I'm not saying they will completely heal form that loss but what I'm saying is that it can be mended. (Never let a person who has lost a loved one be alone, find some way to let them release the pain and heartbreak).
• It is really hard to lose a loved one. Take it from someone who has experienced it. The best thing you can do for your friend is say, "I'm sorry for your loss" and just be there for them! They could really use it and they will feel a lot better with support and knowing that you are there for them.
• Just make sure they are happy and try and take their mind off of it. Arrange lots of trips out, so they won't think about it. It really works. When my best friends granddad died we arranged lots of things like trips out to the pictures. It really helped, and she didn't think about her granddad much, whereas if she were at home, she'd have probably been crying still. Also maybe encourage them to take up a sport, hobby or start a collection, something else to set their mind on! Try not to bring up the past too much, this may be upsetting. Try not to mention the death too much either, or bring flowers etc as this will only be a constant reminder of the death. If all this fails, try telling them just to let it out, and don't let them feel embarrassed to cry. If it helps you cry too! But make sure you're not too obsessive. And if they ask for some space leave off for a bit. No one can comprehend the death of a loved one, and this is a hard time for anyone. Sometimes people just wanna be alone!
• Sometimes the best way to help is to just them know you are there when they are ready to talk. When they start talking about their loved ones then let them. Don't try to fix it or move them to another topic. It takes time to grieve and heal. Just love them and give them that time to heal.

Tell him exactly that, he will open up more if you talk to him about it.

It's very difficult to live without the love of your life. You feel a longing that never seems to go away.

After the first stage of sadness and grief have swept over you, it might help to review the relationship and take all of the happiness you can into the future:

1. Look at this person as a special gift that was given to you for a period of time to show you what love looks like.

2. Think about the strengths and the insights this person brought to your life.

3. Describe how you came alive as a result of this person's attributes.

4. Be grateful for what you did receive from the friendship. You received a gift. Not everyone has experienced this.

5. If the love of your life has left you to be with someone else, allow him/her freedom. It shows trust and respect.

6. If the love of your life is married, accept it and encourage them to be faithful. Look for similar traits in an available person.

7. Offer the same gift of friendship and love to someone else. The gifts of listening, understanding, support, and caring are truly precious. Pass them on.

• Grief is a necessary emotion to deal with the loss of a loved one. However, grief is a different lonely journey and one each individual of that loved one who has died must go through and each person grieves differently. There is no joy in grieving. Grieving often leaves those left behind with a hole in their heart and a feeling that part of them went with their loved one. It is after grief when an individual can smile at photos of that person and remember the good memories they shared with them and that does bring some peace and joy.

The stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. These stages can help individuals cope with loss and bereavement by providing a framework for understanding and processing their emotions. By recognizing and moving through these stages, individuals can gradually come to terms with their loss and begin to heal emotionally.
