How to honor your grief and use it for positive growth, according to AndreaBrandtPhD
For days, weeks, or even months after losing someone, you may wake up in the morning with an overwhelming sadness. It can feel like a heaviness pushing down on your chest, and it starts before your conscious mind has even kicked in to remind you of what you have lost. It wasn’t just a bad dream.
Though you might imagine the worst when considering what will happen if you allow yourself to feel your feelings—that they will last forever and might even cause you to go right off the deep end— this isn’t the case. Eventually, the feelings will subside, and you will move forward in the grieving process.Often when a loved one dies, you lose several things at once: the person, your relationship with them, your way of living if they were your helpmate, your plans with them, and so on.
Perhaps no event is more likely to trigger isolation than the trauma of losing a loved one, but you need to reach out to recover. Of course, if you’re reading this amid thepandemic, you know how logistically difficult this can be. Getting out of yourself and focusing on someone else’s needs instead of your own is a time-tested way to heal—volunteer to tutor students online or adopt a dog or cat that needs care and a loving home.
