How do you cope with grief?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Grief is one of the hardest experiences any of us can go through but it's important to remember that it's not the grief that's the problem. It's the loss of someone we love that's the problem. Though incredibly difficult, grief is the process through which we heal.

So the best way to cope with grief is to follow where it leads. After years of coaching and counseling people who are grieving, I am convinced that grief is a most trustworthy companion. It will take you exactly where you need to go and will heal you in the end. It often takes a long time (several years is not uncommon). Trying to manage your grief, speed it up, suppress it or medicate it, generally backfires by making grief more difficult and prolonged.

Why do you suddenly dream about dying?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

dreaming about death means good luck

A different perspective:

Dreams about dying often reflect a change in life situation: the end of one chapter and the beginning of something new. Graduations, a job change or even moving to a new home are all possible triggers of dreams about dying, because a part of the dreamer's life is ending.

In dreams, death usually represents the end of one stage and the beginning of something new. This dream suggests that the "ex" is "dead" to the dreamer. This is a good, healthy message that it is time for the dreamer can move on with life.

Bring food to a Shiva?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are different options for bringing food to a shiva. The main consideration is if the family keeps kosher, to be safe, any food taken or sent to a shiva house should be kosher. In most communities that are large enough to support kosher restaurants and caterers, groups of people will coordinate all meals through one of these places to make sure that the family sitting shiva aren't eating the same foods for the whole seven days. Otherwise, friends and family will work together to bring food to the mourners for the shiva period.

What to ware to a funeral?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hopefully someone has not been to so many funerals that they know exactly what is appropriate and acceptable for each occasion. For those fortunate enough not to know precisely how to dress for a funeral, here are a few guidelines.

Wearing all black is traditional, but more recently people have suggested wearing a splash of white or a subtle color. The occasion is surely one of mourning, but in some cases it can be a slight celebration of the deceased’s end of suffering. If the death was sudden or unexpected, it is appropriate to dress fully in black.

No matter what the color of the outfit, it is important that it is tasteful and conservative. Ladies should not wear a dress that is sleeveless or backless. Also, the hem should not rise more than six inches above the knee and the shoes should be close-toed. Men wearing a button up shirt can get away with leaving the top button undone, but anything more than that would be disrespectful. In regards to men’s shoes, they should leave the tennis shoes or hiking boots at home and opt for polished dress shoes.

After the outfit has been selected, accessories must be taken into consideration. The first thing to consider is the weather. If it is going to be rainy, have an umbrella and a water resistant jacket. If it will be hot, wear short sleeves and maybe bring a small bottle of water to hide in a purse. Next, it is important to check the agenda of the funeral. If someone is attending the burial as well, they must wear accommodating shoes, especially women. Spiked heels may dig into the possibly soft ground, distracting her attention from her last chance to say goodbye.

If anything out of the ordinary is taking place at the funeral that would change the mode of dress, those organizing it will likely inform the guests. This may be a something such as team members all wearing a jersey with the deceased’s number on them, or even wearing the favorite color of the deceased. The most important idea to remember is that the guests are there to honor a loved one.

How do you cope with the loss of a loved one?

Asked by Wiki User

I'm deeply sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one. And I can sympathize with what you're feeling and going through right now. I would like to share with you what helped me get through these distressing times and what encouraged me to seek God for comfort and coping. Revelation 21:3 and 4 says "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say; "Look! The tent of God is with Mankind, and HE WILL reside with them. 4 And HE WILL wipe out every tear from their eyes, and DEATH will be NO MORE, neither will mourning nor outcry NOR PAIN be anymore, the FORMER things have passed away. This scripture really helped me to see that in the future Jehovah God will end death forever. It's encouraging to know that God does care about us and that he has set a time where he will do away with death forever. I hope I was able to bring you and your family some comfort in these critical times that you're dealing with. If you would like to learn more about the bible and why does God allow the suffering that mankind is experiencing today, I will be glad to show you the bible's answer to that question and many more comforting promises that God promises to bring about.

How do different religions deal with death?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well first their are so many different religions that you would lose count. Some religions such as Christians believe that if you Repent (confess your sins) & get baptize and have the Holy Ghost( the spirt of God) & pray and live up to a holy lifestyle that you will get to heaven. But Atheis( may not be spelled right) don't believe in anything such as God and just believe that they will just die & be died in the ground.But being a Christian they want to get to heaven and don't fear it. But ATHESIS fear dying because they don't want to living in a hole in the ground.

I am an ATHEIST and Atheism is not a religion so right off the bat your wrong, and we do not fear dying. we just accept that when we die we are dead and that we don't go to heaven. If anyone is afraid it would be Christians because to comfort themselves that they are going to die and cant accept that the are going to die. So before you talk about something make sure that you know what your talking about and not just make stuff up as you go.

Is it ok to take shrooms whilst you're grieving the loss of a loved one?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The short answer: No.

The long answer: If you are asking, it is presumable that you are contemplating engaging in the practice of taking hallucinogens in an attempt to drown out life. It is a very bad idea, as it reduces your ability to think. If you can't think as well as you used to, you tend to do poorly at your job. If you do poorly at your job, you are demoted or let go. And then you enter a Kafka loop. Don't do it.

How does it feel to lose someone you love?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It sucks

There really are not words to describe how horrible it feels. It hurts more than anything else. You would much rather get hit by a bus than to feel the pain of losing the one you love. And to top it all off, there isn't really much anything that will take the pain away.

What does it mean if you killed your ex step father in your dream?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

My advice is: If (in reality) you have any reason to feel he deserved it, then you should seek professional advice (not on the net). If there is no real reason that you can think of, then ignore it, remember, not all dreams have meaning, some are what they seem, mixed-up nonsense. they have a purpose that is not open to meaningful interpretation.

Is their a cure for grief?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As long as the person/thing meant to you. Personally, I have never felt grief, that is because I have never loved anything/anyone that deeply to feel upset over their/it's absence in my life. But for a normal person, there is no timetable, grief lasts as long as it has too.

Answer

Rather than looking at time, you would consider the stages that most people pass through on their way to acceptance. The five stages, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are from the writings and study of Elisabeth Kubler-Ross.

You dreamed your ex died what does it mean?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It means that your subconscious mind (your soul) realizes that your ex is no longer a part of your life. It is expressing in a literal way the idea behind the expression, "he is dead to me." Nobody is really dead, and the dream is not forecasting the future in any way. It is expressing a realization within your self: "it's over."
