“Helping People In A Time Of Need”

UNDERSTANDING GRIEF AND LOSS

When a loved one dies, the bereaved person invariably goes through a predictable human process of grieving. The extent of the reaction will depend on circumstances such as the suddenness and unexpectedness of the death. It will depend also on the age of the deceased and the bereaved, and other factors such as personal, family, national or religious customs and habits. However, no matter what the circumstances, the bereaved will suffer a reaction and the emotions described here are NORMAL. Such as:

  • shock, disbelief,
  • constant crying
  • anger, why did it happen to me?
  • guilt, self-blame
  • out of character behaviours
  • shame,
  • adaptation
  • acceptance

It is important to remember that these reactions are NORMAL. However, it likewise important to ensure the bereaved have their, family and friends close to provide suppport, love and understanding.

CHILDREN & GRIEF

Never forget the children in a time of mourning. Often times children are pushed into the background at a time when all of the family should be together. Children have feelings and emotions just like the adults do and it is important to enable them to express how they feel. Teach them while they are young that they may learn wisdom and understanding so that when they grow into adulthood and experience this ‘life event’ they will be equipped to manage this process a little easier.
