It’s normal to feel grief when someone you love passed away. How can you not? You have to face the fact that you can’t meet that person anymore.
But, should you let yourself get drowned while actually your loved one is now at peace?
You shouldn’t. You need to move on with your life.
Epiphany in Baltimore promised himself that he’ll be better soon. You can do, too.
If you think it’s hard to do, these are some things that you can do to help you ease the process:
- First of all, no denial. Don’t ever tell yourself that he or she is still alive, somewhere. You have to face the truth that he or she is gone. Otherwise, you can never be able to start coping with your loss
- Second, you can actively grieve and mourn, but promise yourself that it’ll be temporary.
- Third, talk about it. Express all the feeling you have inside. Let it all out. You can do it to a friend, family, group, counselor, or even to your pet if you don’t feel like getting any feedback at all.
- Fourth, live a day at time. It will ease you in managing your feeling of loss.
- Fifth, take good care of yourself. Maintain your health, both physically and mentally. If you need, you can get others take care of you.
Remember what Molière (French Actor, Playwright and Writer the greatest of all writers of French comedy, 1622-1673) once said, “if you suppress grief too much, it can well redouble.”
