Grief Loss and Bereavement

Go see her anyway. You won't regret it. She loves you and wants to see you. Be brave for her.

I am having that exact same problem this evening. I chose to wear a nice longer but sleek black skirt. Plain but elegant black pumps, nude stockings... if any at all and a dark maroon colored dress shirt. I don't think it's inapropriate anymore to wear colors, as long as they are of a darker shade. I am also thinking it may be a good idea to bring a sympathy card with a hand written, well thought out statment of my sincere condolences. Good luck to you and I am sorry for your loss.

One approach would be to tell the child that the story of Grandad's life has come to an end. You could sit together and look at photos of Grandad, and tell stories about different times in Grandad's life - where he grew up, where he went to school, how he met Gramma, what he was like as a Dad, and how much he loved his grandchild. You could make a scrapbook together, and call it The Story of Grandad. Then explain that just like the book will always keep that story inside the book cover, your hearts will always hold Grandad inside your loving memories.

I actually gained weight when my husband died but many of the widows I spoke to did lose weight because of their grief. I think that our physical health and weight are tied to our mental health and that when we mentally become stressed out our body reacts by getting sick. They are all signs that we are under stress and should take action to care for ourselves. Also, our eating habits change when our life style changes through grief or worry. Some go to the fridge out of boredom or eat to ease their pain. Others have no interest in anything, not even food because they are so depressed.

Yes we can lose our health or weight through grief or worry but we need to be aware of it. Once aware of the danger we can take action by getting out more or by finding new ways to cook etc. Life changes have to be made so we don't fall into self pity and get depressed. Read motivational books and watch positive movies to lift your spirits and help you to handle your grief and worry. Positive emotions can not live in an negative environment so fill up of the positive.

Bowlby's attachment theory

Grief can absolutely be experienced prior to a loss.Such griefcan be thought of as anticipatory grief. It's the very real anguish that is felt when the death or loss of a friend, family member or patient issomething that is expected.

It usually begins with the news of a coming departure, whether a terminal illness that cannot be treated, as with a terminal diagnosis of cancer, or even someone close who is moving away.

It is one of the hardest bereavements to cope with since the loss is expected and can be extremely painful and hard to endure while waiting for the expected event to take place.

Christians cope with death, quite well. Because they have the security and knowlege in knowing that that family member will be in heaven if they to, were a christian. They would also know that someday they will also be able to see them in heaven without sin or anything bad.

It's the initial 7 days of the Jewish process of mourning.

it the lighting of candles that symbolizes the wish of one self to another person.

Buddhists are not Spock like beings that rationalize grief into nothing and mutter phrases like "Ahh - this pain results from my uncontrolled desire to have things better than they are. I must conquer this weakness!". Like all people grief arising from loss or the death of others passes through phases for Buddhists - numbness and denial, anger, great sorrow, depression, dispair and confusion turn into acceptance and even transcendence as sorrow reveals opportunities for appreciation and compassion. These phases are similar to those experienced in any of life's changes - separation, transition, or return.

Those somewhat familiar with Buddhism sometimes point to the unhappiness around "attachment" as something that must be overcome. Attachment means the desire for a person to be with someone or something and absence from this nearness produces sadness. This would seem to indicate that the sadness in bereavement or grief is somehow wrong or undesirable. In his teachings the Buddha taught that this attachment is only a cause for sadness when it is limited and vanishes when the attachment is directed outwards towards all others.

Kubler-Ross's five stages of dying are:

1. DENIAL - EX: shopping around for a more favorable diagnosis or that a mistake was made. This could include going to different doctors just to make sure you have been diagnosed correctly and it was not a mistake.


2. ANGER - EX: expressed as hostility, resentment, and envy toward care workers, family and friends. Often time a person in this stage will question "why me?" A person may try to give others their disease because they are so angry.


3. BARGAINING - people will look for a way out. Ex: making a deal with GOD. Promising to be a better person. A person might say "If you let me live I will never do anything bad again."


4. DEPRESSION - feeling deep loss, sorrow, quilt and shame over their illness and consequences.


5. ACCEPTANCE- the person accepts the inevitability of death and often seems detached from the world and at peace. "Final rest before the journey".

This is a tough situation for you and your friend. But your friend needs to deal with the loss of his/her best friend and there really isn't much that you can do or say to make things better. It is what it is. You just need to be there for your friend. Comfort your friend. Let him/her know that you are there for them. Offer to go see a movie with them, bring them dinner one night. Try to help your friend not sit at home and dwell on their loss.

People are generally a caring species, so especially if something horrible has happened, we can relate to the pain and grief of other people. If it happens in a familiar location to us, or the deceased or victim is about the same age as yourself or your children, you might compare that it might as well have been your family in question.

There are many places where one could receive bereavement counseling. This type of counseling can be found online or in a office.

Grief is an intense sorrow caused by the loss of a loved one (especially by death)

Shiva isn't the funeral in Judaism. Shiva is the 7 days after the burial where the immediate family doesn't leave their home or do any work. Instead, people come to them to offer comfort and bring food. Levoya is the burial ceremony.
