Unfortunately, this is going to be something that most of us experience throughout our lives. The most important thing is the people around us are aware of our changes in our behavior. So, they see us when we go through the shock and the main stages of the bereavement process.
Coping with it is very individual. Basically, it is advisable that you actually visit your GP (General Practitioner) and discuss different ways with him. Be as truthful as possible, and try and explain how you are feeling.
He will hopefully be able to identify what stage of the process, the grieving process, you are at. This will help him when it comes to medication, or recommending therapy or bereavement groups. Primarily, try your hardest not to go into denial, and say, “I'm OK”.
Eventually, that's when you can become quite depressed and very ill, because of not actually coping properly and going through the process. There are many organizations that are able to help you through this grieving process. You don't have to go through it alone.
Some people prefer to, but many actually find great warmth and comfort going through therapy or into a bereavement group. So, please remember to listen to your family and friends, and try hard to take on board what they are saying, because your welfare is important to them. So, contact your local groups, your GP or your local therapist in respect to bereavement or grief. .
