5 Ways To Cope With Loss Of A Loved One by eneazi(f): 6:46pm On Jun 05, 2021 |
Last year on my birthday I loss someone dear to me. My initial plan was to surprise my brothers and friends with a small party, although not a fan of birthday celebrations and all the excitement that comes with it, but I had wanted making 2020's an exception. On that fateful day, I received a call at about 5:20am it was an odd time for the caller to call even though it was my birthday and the big bomb was dropped on me. I felt an excruciating pain to say the least from the news that one of my favorite persons on God's earth was gone. I couldn't do anything to numb the pain and sat still, disoriented and disorganized like someone who suffered brain fog. I have to admit it was one of the darkest moments of my life. Luckily, I was able to survive that period. I have been strong because I know that is what he would have wanted. To all those hurting as a result of loss here are some ways to get by. Grieve as much as you can The issue with a lot of people dealing with loss is, the fact that they try to conceal their pain by acting strong, it's okay to be a big baby no one will judge you for that. The truth is, if you fake being a warrior when you ought to have let it out it will hit you strong later, release whatever emotion you feel. Accept the reality In most cases of loss, we tend to get scared of coming to terms with our new reality, thereby live in denial of what happened. Embrace your new reality. Keep memories alive What helped me during my time of grief was the memories I had of my dear beloveth. I remembered his kind heart; in his world there was no age or class difference everyone was equal and this was a big take for me. Honour them Do something to honour their memory. You can set up a foundation in honour of them especially if such a person died as a result of an ailment. This will help in creating awareness about such sickness or help those suffering from same. You can also set up a business, write a book to honour them. Continue whatever good work they had been involved before their demise. Hang around people Lastly, do not islolate yourself. I know how tempting the idea of being left alone can be, because at that point there is that feeling that no one understand what you're going through, trust me its better to be around people. Keeping to yourself is like taking the long route to healing which might lead to depression. 2 Likes

.. after the loss of 2 immediate family members, I have come to realize that death is INEVITABLE. Nobody lives forever. It's only a matter of time. Even me and the next person to post after me will go one day 1 Like |
