There is no right or correct way to grieve the death of a loved one. You might experience several symptoms that make you feel as if you just can’t move on any more:
Lack of sleep or interrupted sleep
You don’t want to see people, even friends who want to support you
You feel like you are going crazy
You feel like you don’t care what might happen to you
Life does not make sense any more
You feel angry
You have begun depending on alcohol or taking drugs
You can barely hold in your tears
You become extremely touchy when people intrude ?
Many aspects of experiencing grief make it difficult to get back on track and move on with your life. However, while you are dealing with your grief and loss, keep in mind these important points:
Psychologists and other mental health professionals are here to help
You don’t have to force yourself into socialising and going to parties, but you can benefit from allowing some people to help you
It is alright if you don’t fully know what will make life better for you, just keep on doing something to help ease the pain of the loss
