Grieving is often a difficult and confusing time for many people. This film discusses the best way to get help in dealing with the various emotions that occur during mourning.
Listen to yourself. What are you telling yourself by the way you are behaving, by the way you're reacting, and feeling? Listen to the people around you. If they advise you to seek medical attention and go to your doctor, then don't hesitate.
Don't let your GP rush you. Feel free to express what you're feeling. You may still be in shock.
You may be feeling angry and hurt. You may be feeling guilty. Any of these emotions need to be expressed.
When you're trying to cope with this, there is no set time that you will start to recover, start to accept, and move on. It is advisable that you try and find a therapist for the bereavement or the grief or possibly a help group. You will be able to search on the internet, or in your local directory, or speak to your GP for all this information.
When you embark on therapy, make sure that the therapist is the right person for you. It doesn't have to be the first person you see. It is advisable that there is a nice gentle chemistry between you so that you feel able to express your true feelings.
This is a very, very delicate subject. It is very hard for people to express what they are truly feeling at such a delicate time. But it is also a time when you need to possibly embark on some type of therapy to help you go through the process of grieving and loss. .
