We grieve as instinctive response to loss. It is the pain that you experience when someone who or something that is part of your life, someone or something you cherish, is no longer there.
The scenarios below are a few examples of losses that can give you anguish:
- you have split up with someone - you lost your job - you missed the big chance to follow your dream - you learn that someone very close to you is diagnosed with a deadly disease - you are discovered to have a serious illness - your spouse wishes for a divorce - you had a fight with your best friend - a pet dies - a loved one dies
The scenarios enumerated earlier can all cause a person to undergo a time of grieving. Nevertheless, the most intense pain that we feel is when a person we love - such as a spouse, a son or daughter, or a parent- passes away. Nothing can ever take their place in our hearts and memories.
Our entire lives, we may have made the people who passed away the core of our existence. Thus, life is now never the same as it were when our loved ones were still with us. We grieve for what we have lost. Yet, in our grief, we have the hope of being able to heal our anguish and strengthen our lives to move forward again.
There is no correct or incorrect way to express grief. Still, we must choose the path that can encourage us to heal after all the loss that we experienced.
It is common presumption that grieving should be accompanied by crying our hearts out every time we recall our loved ones who passed away. Still, tears do not always signify sorrow. One can look unemotional on the outside yet is breaking up from the pain of loss within.
Moreover, in opposition to the myth, grieving does not only cover a single year. Grieving's duration differs from individual to individual. No one should be rushed and "get over" the grief that they are experiencing. Time is a great healer.
