Understanding Your Emotions of Grief

 

In a world where emotions are generally not understood and often frowned upon, those who are experiencing the Emotions of Grief have been at a significant disadvantage from the onset.

 

 Your Grief Emotions

  • Your emotions are spontaneous reactions to the death of your loved one. They are not bad or wrong, or a sign of weakness. They are inner expressions of your feelings about this loss.
  • While you may become very good at repressing the symptoms of emotions, you cannot consciously control or tell emotions to vanish with affirmations or mind control.
  • You can however work with emotions quite easily, to completely and permanently release any emotion and its impact.
  • Because people don’t understood their emotions, or known how to deal with them effectively, the norm has been to do whatever you can to repress and silence them.
  • When emotions are not dealt with at the time of their occurrence, they are stored inside, ready to combine and strengthen the next emotion. This is why your emotions are far stronger and more painful than they need be. They are not the emotions of this one incidence, they are a combination of all incidences.
  • Our storage bin of repressed emotions does fill up and overflow. This is why you suddenly burst into tears at the most surprising and inconvenient times. You are full of emotional pain.
  • When we learn how to stop avoiding our emotions, we can allow them freedom to be experienced at the time of their occurrence, and then completely release these emotions and their residual impact.
  • We can access our overflowing storage bin of emotion and pain and empty it, so that we no longer feel the heaviness of grief.
  • Our actions can either heighten or reduce our emotional distress. For example, we can organize and control mind chatter and fears, reducing the subsequent emotions that these activities create.

Grief and loss is an emotional experience, yet we can understand and manage the process to make it far easier on ourselves.

Janet Greene’s Personal Goal


As a release facilitator, I feel the sadness of each person I work with who has lost a loved one. They are absolutely filled with pain and heartache, and it is as though they send it out in a silent prayer as they search for relief.

That’s why Heal Your Pain is so important to me personally. I want grieving people everywhere to know that there is another way for them to grieve and heal from their loss. They do not have to live in this pain – they can let it go and still honor their loved one.

 Are you Heartbroken by Grief?

   Are you devastated after the loss of a loved one?
   Confused by overwhelming emotions and strange    symptoms?
   Searching for a way to heal and recover?
   Ready to let go of the pain?

The Myths and Realities of Grief


Myths about grief cause additional pain and suffering. They serve to spread a mass belief that the grieving person willingly accepts as their new truth, drastically altering their own ability to heal from this traumatic experience.

The only reality of grief to accept as your truth, is what you personally experience and feels right for you, no matter what anyone else says.

Myths and Realities about Grief


  • MYTH: We never “get over” our grief. We only become reconciled to it and learn to cope and live with the reality of a loved one’s death.

If you take on this belief then you will have no hope of ever feeling better again.

Reality: You definitely can heal and “get over” your grief. And then, whenever you think of your loved one you will smile and feel pure love for them and the time you spent together.

  • MYTH: There is no specific process, no healing formula, no right way to manage grief. However, there are healthy, effective ways to cope.

Reality: There is a specific process, there is a healing formula and there is a defined way you can manage and heal from your grief.

Why cope (accept and make the best of something you can’t change – repress and try to ignore your pain and heartache) when you can heal?

  • MYTH: “Healing” and “getting over” loss means that you have to “forget” and “let go” of the deceased in order to get on with life.

Reality: If you had a way to stop and heal the pain of a deep wound in your hand, wouldn’t you do everything possible to heal that wound? Releasing the painful emotions and wounds we carry around in relation to loss is the same idea.

Healing does not mean you forget or let go of your loved one.

  • MYTH: Grief is not an emotional reaction.

Reality: If you have felt the overwhelming emotions after the death of your loved one then you know this myth is false.

Grief is most certainly an emotional reaction. It is an overwhelming experience that sends your emotions, mind, thoughts, and entire being into shock.

  • MYTH: There are a specific set of stages of grief that everyone experiences.

Reality: While people will often experience similar emotional and situational experiences of grief (sadness, hurt, overwhelmed, mind chatter, worry etc.), individual experiences vary from person to person.

  • MYTH: The longer you mourn the more you show your love for the deceased.

While some people accept the loss of their loved one and are able to begin reinvesting in their new life without the physical presence of their loved one, other people hesitate to fully embrace their new life because they believe it will indicate a lack of true love for the deceased.

Reality: Love has no time limits or boundaries. You do not have to feel pain to show that you love someone. When you allow yourself to fully experience your grief and mourning, then release it when you are ready, you will feel content and comfortable that you have mourned. You will have honored your loved one and naturally feel ready to reinvest in your life again.

  • MYTH: Time heals all wounds.

Reality: Time merely gives you more time to become better skilled at repressing your emotional pain. But as we all know, repressed pain has a habit of popping up when we least expect it to.

  • MYTH: We slowly and predictably recover from grief.

Reality: Without releasing, some people still overcome their grief naturally, while other people feel the devastation of this event for the rest of their life.

Unresolved emotions are just like any other life situation where things are left hanging. Unfinished. The pain just keeps being added one upon the other, until it can grow so overwhelming that you can’t seem to function or find joy in any aspect of your life.

The benefit of releasing and therefore dealing with these Emotions of Grief, is that you can go on and be happy, resume your life, and create something new out of the pain you once experienced. Of course we will feel pain over any of our losses, but to know there is a way to heal that pain, is a great gift all by itself. Why would anyone choose to stay in pain if they could take action to release and heal themselves?

How can I help a friend who is Grieving?

While you can’t lessen the pain of someone who is grieving, there are things you can say and do to provide genuine support for a fellow human in need.
 

 
Understand Grief and Bereavement


By gaining an appreciation of what your friend is going through, you can be a better support, understand their needs, know what to watch for, and build true compassion.

 What Not to say

Death is a very sensitive and awkward subject for everyone, including your friend. Sometimes people just say the wrong thing because they stumble when they don’t know the right thing to say. Know that nothing you can say will change how they feel, so there is no need to even try. Please avoid the following.

 
  • I know how you feel.
  • It’s just God’s plan
  • God will never give you more
    than you can handle.
  • Focus on the things you have
    to be thankful for.
  • He’s in a better place now.
  • God needed another angel.
  • She’s not suffering anymore
    - or at peace now.
  • It was for the best.
  • He led a full life.
  • It’s time to get on with your life.
  • You are so strong, you can handle this.
  • You must be strong for the kids.
  • You’ll get over it in time.
  • Time heals all wounds.
  • Put this behind you and get on with your life.
  • Isn’t it time you got back to normal?
  • You can always have more children.
  • Are you dating yet?
  • You need to be the man of the house now – to a child.
  • Keep a stiff upper lip.
  •  
    Compassion


    Be a compassionate friend. Do not expect, or assume, or judge anything about their experience, or how they should be managing it.

    You can write a special letter on the most beautiful notepaper you can find. Express your sorrow, both for their loss and that they are having to experience this traumatic time.

    One of the kindest things you can do for your friend or family member is to tell them that you are here, right beside them, ready and waiting to do and be anything they wish or need you to do or be. Let them know that all they need do is ask.

    Doing this in writing is much easier for your friend or family member to cope with.

    Energy

    Grief is emotionally, physically and mentally draining. Rather than feeling sorry for or worrying about your friend or family member, share the gift of love with them via energy – you’ll enjoy it!

    Sit quietly and let your body and mind relax. Then think of your friend and allow your love to be felt. Feel it in your chest and take some deep breaths to increase this sensation.

    Keep thinking about your friend and build your love energy to overflowing, then picture your arms going out, across the miles, to wrap themselves around your dear friend or family member, and let your love flow freely to them. You will feel the energy expand and literally wrap around them.

    They will feel your energy and love and it will help them greatly. So think of them once a day and share the gift of love so they know that they are not alone, and feel supported.

    Healing the Pain of Grief


    While it is not up to you to push or expect those you love to grieve in ways you think they should, you can present them with the opportunity to help themselves. Purchase our companion handbook, Heal your Pain, and when you next visit your friend, casually leave it on a side table and tell them this book will help them heal their emotional pain when they are ready to.

    Then do not mention it again.

    A Fresh Perspective of Grief and Loss

    Please visit our new Website for more articles


    We undergo may painful experiences during our lifetime, yet most are a one time event.

    Upon the death of a loved one however, innocent people are forced to endure one traumatic blow after another after another. They are literally bombarded from every direction, continually, often for months or even years.
     

    The Emotions of Grief


    People become very scared of their grief emotions, because they seem so strong. In order to survive, many have had to find ways to repress their emotional overload and quiet their minds, because to feel it all is naturally more than they can bear.

    The problem is that grieving then becomes unnecessary emotional trauma, as the fears and emotions of each event compound with the previously repressed ones, and continually increase in intensity.

    The emotion you feel today is a combination of all the times you have experienced this emotion of grief. That is why it is so overwhelming.

    The reason you are feeling this grief emotion today, as freshly as you originally did 5, 10 or even 50 years ago is because you are feeling your original stored emotion that has lain dormant, just below the surface.

    Grief then becomes a journey of attempting to avoid unbearable pain, but at the same time feeling a chronic sadness and ache, without ever fully experiencing grief or loss at all.

    No wonder people are hesitant to move on, they instinctively know that they haven’t finished, because they haven’t truly experienced their grief.
     

    Releasing the Emotions of Grief


    But, there is a very interesting thing about emotions. You see, the fear of feeling an emotion is often stronger and more difficult than the actual emotion that is feared.

    And, when you realize that you can completely and permanently release any emotion at will, your fear of emotions subsides, and then they are far less intense and scary.

    As you become more comfortable with emotions in general (sounds strange but it really does happen), you are able to allow yourself to feel your grief and loss fully, as an experience to mourn your loved one, then permanently heal and release it instantly. Then you will naturally feel ready to move on.

    This is why we gently introduce the releasing process in Heal Your Pain, so you show yourself how to get comfortable with releases, emotions and feeling them in general, without any stress or pressure.

    The big difference between our philosophy of grief and traditional models is that they focus on reasoning and understanding to cope with the pain, whereas we focus on doing to resolve and heal the pain.
     

    Conclusion


    You may be use to reading and perhaps writing about grief, so you naturally want to rationalize what you are reading here, to see if it provides the answer to help you feel better. (Yet if rationalizing had been effective you wouldn’t still be searching, or feeling your grief)

    To clarify. Imagine putting a whole orange inside your stomach every time you have felt emotional, confused, worried, faced an uncomfortable situation, or heard your mind chatter going crazy since the loss of your loved one. It would be very full by now.

    Traditional methods show you how to cope with a stomach full of oranges. We show you how to experience the oranges fully, then remove them, and naturally you no longer feel bloated, uncomfortable or experience any of the other side effects the oranges created.

    Of course there is more to grief than emotions, but until the emotions are resolved and released, no other healing is possible. Therefore, emotions must be addressed first.

    What are the Emotional Stages of Grief?


    The “Stages of Grief” models that many of us are familiar with are based on the perspective that you can not release emotions, nor heal from grief. They stress that you will never fully get over the loss of your loved one.
     

     The Five Stages of Grief

    In 1969, psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross introduced what became known as the “five stages of grief.” These stages of grief were based on her studies of the feelings of patients facing terminal illness.

    • Denial: “This can’t be happening to me.”
    • Anger: “Why is this happening? Who is to blame?”
    • Bargaining: “Make this not happen, and in return I will ____.”
    • Depression: “I’m too sad to do anything.”
    • Acceptance: “I’m at peace with what happened.”
    With Greene’s Release, we present an alternative journey through grief where you can release emotions and you can heal from your grief. You no longer have to be bound by the false hope that time is the healer of all wounds.

    While you undergo your own natural progression through the grief process, Heal Your Pain guides you to release and heal each stage of your grief, whenever you feel ready to do so.

    Below are some of the commonly experienced emotions and changes after the loss of a loved one.

    Shut Down/Numb


    People are usually quick to do things in an attempt to help themselves or others out of this numb state. But you have suffered a horrendous shock, which is naturally overwhelming, and you want to escape.
     
    Shutting down is a natural self-protective method to get a much needed break from the overload of your grief. You try to prevent the painful emotions and thoughts about something that cannot be changed.

    When you are ready to come out of your cocoon, Heal Your Pain’s Second Stage of Mourning gently introduces an exceptionally easy release process to try – no expectations or stress.

    Overwhelmed


    There is no need to talk yourself out of being overwhelmed by grief. Everything feels as if it is coming at you too fast; your emotions, things to do, think about and organize. Why shouldn’t you be overwhelmed with all that is going on?

    Imagine knowing, as soon as you start to feel overwhelmed, that its okay and safe to feel these emotions – because you can and will release them whenever you wish to.

    As you go through Heal Your Pain chapters and become an expert at releasing painful emotions at will, you will loose your fear of them and feel stronger in yourself.

    Pain and Hurt


    It’s only natural that the loss of someone we love will hurt us. People often have difficulty letting it go because they feel that they are supposed to be feeling it.

    But do you think it’s right to stockpile emotions for the rest of your life?

    Our path through grief is gradual and gentle – enabling you to feel confident, and ready to let go of the pain, without pressure or expectation. Once you get started, the transition is quick and you’ll see pain in an entirely different light as you eagerly let it go.

    Controlled


    Prior to the loss of your loved one, you felt in total control of your life circumstances. When the loss occurred, everything changed, and the control was taken out of your hands.

    You no longer have full control of the experiences you engaged in, the people you choose to associate with, and the life you now live. You are forced to participate in this grief experience, and to deal with all of its associated aspects. It is perfectly natural to feel controlled by your current circumstances.

    It is very freeing and empowering to confidently take back control, without having to demand or fight for it – releasing overwhelming emotions as soon as they surface – understanding and taking control of your mind’s fears and chatter – moving through grief rather than helplessly sitting within it – taking care of you.

    Guilt and Regret


    Some people carry the pain of guilt and regret for a lifetime. Although not an Emotion of Grief per se, these emotions originate when people make a decision in their mind about self-blame, regret for not having done something, or thinking about missed future experiences with their loved one.

    Guilt and regret are wounds that Greene’s Release can help you heal.

    Sadness


    Your loss is overwhelmingly sad and it is okay to be sad! It is, however, your choice of how long you want to be sad, because when you are ready to step out of your sadness, our Heal Your Pain handbook will show you how to stop unintentionally exacerbating your sadness, and take you through the steps to release your stored sadness.

    Anger


    Anger and sadness are the two most repressed, misunderstood and un-felt emotional responses to loss and grief. Someone you care deeply about has left. Why shouldn’t you feel angry at them, yourself, the world, the person or doctor that may have been responsible, and even the fact that this horrible thing happened to you? It’s okay to be angry!

    Anger only becomes a problem when we avoid it by repressing it inside, then our stored anger grows and can impact how we think, feel, act and react to all experiences. We can become “the angry person.”

    Heal Your Pain shows that its okay and safe to feel and experience your spontaneous anger (i.e. go somewhere quiet to yell and scream) because you are in full control, and when ready will use the release technique to set it free.

    Depression


    When we are overwhelmed by events and emotions, yet can see no way out, we begin to feel hopeless, helpless, and naturally wish to shut down and avoid life all together – depression.

    People who have not undertaken releasing find it hard to come back from the initial shock and grief, and can settle into an ongoing mourning state that takes over their life.

    Heal Your Pain gives you the personal power to show yourself hope through each release you undertake.

    Loneliness


    It can be very lonely after the loss of a loved one and the life you once shared together. When we focus on this loneliness, we unknowingly strengthen the emotion and make ourselves feel worse. Our Heal Your Pain handbook will show you how to use the release technique to set it free, and how to make this time easier for yourself.

    Sorry for Yourself


    It is natural to feel sorry for yourself at various times after loss. We show you how to give yourself permission to feel, experience and appreciate what you have been through, and then set this emotion and yourself free by releasing it.

    Alternative Method to Heal Your Grief


    Grief can be a companion in your life for years, one that you get used to having around.

    In a society that seems for the most part to feel uncomfortable discussing grief and loss, we have been shortchanged when it comes to knowing how to deal with our grief emotions and pain.

    Yet we can heal and recover after this devastating experience – there is life after loss…

    How to Heal Your Grief


    Like every traumatic life experience; the shock, emotions, memories, and conclusions reached (core beliefs) after enduring the tragic death of a loved one are stored in the unconscious mind – as a reference point to live our future life by.

    The only way to heal this heartbreaking loss is to access, heal and remove this pain from the unconscious mind. While doing so may seem impossible, or difficult, it is surprisingly easy once you know how.

    The Greene’s Release materials teach people how to heal and transform themselves and their lives from the inside out – creating inner peace and happiness. Heal Your Pain: Releasing the Emotions of Grief & Loss addresses the emotions of grief.

    While the circumstances and needs of grieving people vary, dependent on their personality, story, circumstances of their loss, and length of time since their loss, the method and potential for healing is the same for everyone – you can experience everything that is listed below (in all sections), and much more..

    Healing the Recent Loss of a Loved One


    The initial phase of grief is very overwhelming – it is hard to deal with the pain and emotional overload, let alone be able to think and organize everyday necessities. But you have to keep going somehow.

    Learning how to release unpleasant emotions as they occur rather than repressing them, will drastically improve how you feel and are able to cope:

    • You will feel better
    • Your confidence will grow and you will naturally feel more grounded and in control
    • Doing something to help yourself feel better is empowering
    • Released emotions do not compound stored emotions
    • The strength of your emotions will continually lessen

    “This exercise is fantastic! I never thought feeling the emotion
    and releasing it could work.”

    “I can breathe again. It is done. I feel calm and grounded. What a relief!!”

    Healing a Loss that Occurred 2-5 years ago


    While you may no longer be overwhelmed by grief on a daily basis, you may be frustrated with your inability to ‘cope as well as you think you should be‘, ‘get on with your life‘, or prevent yourself from being ‘blindsided by sudden emotional outbursts.’

    Learning how to release spontaneous emotions and empty your storage bin of traumatic grief emotions will change your whole outlook on life – enabling you to rebuild a sense of control, well-being and ability to create a new life:

    • You will feel peace
    • Your confidence, strength and belief in self will blossom
    • Your energy and vitality will continually grow
    • You will feel closure, and ready to live and love again
    • Future opportunities will begin to appear as your mind moves beyond
      its focus on the past

    “It is empowering to realize by doing these exercises I am holding
    my life in my hands.

    I have the power to live my life as I would like, as I decide to create it.
    It is entirely up to me.”

    Healing a Loss that Occurred 5 or more years ago


    You’ve done a good job at repressing your pain and hurt, yet there’s just that uneasy, unexplained sadness you’ve carried for years. Perhaps you are disappointed in life – feeling unfulfilled, and are tired of falling apart without any warning, whenever you think or talk about your loved one.

    Learning how to release spontaneous emotions, empty your storage bin of traumatic grief emotions, and heal the impact of your grief – guilt, regret, loneliness and anger for example, will end the unexpected emotional outbursts, give you peace, and enable you to enjoy life again – freely, without guilt or regret.

    • You will be free – your pain will vanish – you will be empowered
    • You will smile from the inside out – feeling genuine happiness
    • You will feel love whenever you think of your loved one, instead of pain
    • Life will become a new adventure to explore
    • You will find peace within yourself, and with life

    “I find it amazing how accessing this guilt, told me the stories about it that I wasn’t aware of, and how it had impacted on and prevented many things in my life for 20 years, completely without my awareness.

    After doing Greene’s Release things have certainly changed. All the guilt I felt, all the anguish of what could have been, and what I could have done to make life more comfortable for her is gone.

    What I now carry with me is love. My mom will always be in my heart, and I now remember the great times we spent together, while beforehand it was hard to think of anything besides the broken promises, and the pain.”

    I am convinced, after seeing thousands of people benefit from Greene’s Release, that anyone can live a life of happiness, inner peace, and success in the world – regardless of their past or present circumstances. So please join me in creating deep and positive changes not only for yourself, but for the whole world.

    If you’d like to experience the kind of dramatic, positive change Greene’s Release can create in your life, order your grief workbook today.

    Traditional Methods for Coping with Grief


    Traditional methods are based on the perspective that you cannot release emotions, nor heal from grief. They stress that you never fully get over the loss of your loved one. Instead, they provide excellent support for dealing with the symptoms of grief.
     
    Complicated Grief


    If the pain of the loss is so constant and severe that it keeps you from resuming your life, you may be suffering from a condition known as complicated grief. Complicated grief is when people are stuck in an intense state of mourning. You may have trouble accepting the death long after it has occurred or be so preoccupied with the person who died that it disrupts your daily routine and undermines your other relationships.

    Symptoms of complicated grief include

    • Intense longing and yearning for the deceased
    • Intrusive thoughts or images of your loved one
    • Denial of the death or sense of disbelief
    • Inability to cope with everyday life
    • Continued emotional distress
    • Avoiding things that remind you of your loved one
    • Extreme anger or bitterness over the loss
    • Feeling that life is empty or meaningless
    “If it’s been several months or more since your loss and your emotions remain so intense or debilitating that you have trouble going about your normal routine, consider talking to your health care provider.”
    The Mayo Clinic

    Complicated grief treatment hasn’t been standardized because mental health providers are still learning about the condition. Research studies testing various types of treatment have had mixed results. That isn’t to say that treatment isn’t helpful, though. More study is needed to help determine which treatment options may be best for complicated grief.
    Source: Mayo Clinic

    Coping with Grief and Loss


    The traditional view states that the single most important factor in healing from loss is having the support of other people, expressing and sharing your feelings. “Connecting with others will help you heal.

    The focus is on acceptance, building hope, learning coping strategies, and joining a support group or undergoing therapy – as there is no traditionally accepted or defined grieving process.

     Accepting

    By accepting that you will never fully overcome and heal from this loss, you are more likely to accept that you will always live with this pain.

     Hope

    The words “time heals all wounds” and “it will feel better in time” gives mourners hope that this will pass if they just stay strong and wait.

     Coping

    Coping methods are freely shared because grief is viewed as something to deal with, rather than recover from.
     
    Some of the more common misconceptions involve “try not to think about it”, “do something to distract yourself”, “expect to feel emotional as it is normal”, “talk about your grief”, “search for meaning”, “join a support group where everyone talks about their sadness”, “stop dwelling on the past”, “be patient
    - it can take months or years”, “accept the loss – which doesn’t mean that it doesn’t still hurt.”

    While many forms of support are used and do help certain individuals, little scientific research has shown clear benefits for any particular approach.

     Counseling

    Emotions and Grief


    Your current emotions are expressions of your inner thoughts and feelings about the loss of someone you love. They are natural, and you cannot help feeling them. You feel them because you care.

    Emotions show us how we feel, but just like thoughts, they are expressions to experience and then set free. We can’t control nor put them on a timetable, or logically understand them. All we can do is allow them full expression so we may feel, finish with and then release them from our being.

    Emotions of grief are confusing. While it feels right to mourn and feel the pain of loss, the confusing and unpredictable nature of these emotions leave you so overwhelmed that you desperately seek relief, and then feel guilty for wanting to do so.

     You are overwhelmed & unable to control your emotions because:

    • Emotions are stored: When emotions are not dealt with as they occur, they are stored inside, ready to combine and strengthen the next emotion. You are not feeling the emotions of this one incidence, but a combination of all the times you have felt this emotion.
    • Your emotional storage bin is full: Our storage bin of repressed emotions fills up and eventually overflows. This is why you suddenly burst into tears at the most surprising and inconvenient times. You are full of emotional pain. You are full of emotional pain.
    • You are continually feeling spontaneous emotions of loss: You don’t just feel one emotion after the loss of a loved one, but one after another after another throughout each day. You are overwhelmed with the spontaneous emotional expressions of your inner thoughts and feelings about the loss of someone you love.
    • You are continually bombarded with emotional shocks: These arise from the funeral, telling friends about the death, going out for the first time without the loved one, facing friends and family and feeling vulnerable, dealing with hospital bills long after the loss, the first time you do anything alone, holidays, and any other time you are reminded of your grief.
    • Your mind is confused and you’re going crazy with worries:
      “What will happen in the future?”, “Will I be okay?”, “Will I ever have children again?”, “How am I going to do this?”, “I don’t want to get upset in front of people.”
    • Thinking and over-thinking: We tell ourselves stories of events to worry about, thereby creating the corresponding emotional reaction. The more we think, the more intense is the emotional impact we create.

    The emotions are sad and painful, but we do not need to hold onto them like most people do. Your loss may have been 5 weeks, 5 years or 50 years ago, but you still feel it as strongly today as you did back then because until released, emotions are stored within us.

    Now that you understand why you feel this way, you can stop being so hard on yourself and begin to completely and permanently heal and remove this pain. After all, it is not yours to hold on to.

    About Loss


    Most people don’t realize that grief is far more than the heartbreak of loss.

    Grief is an overwhelming experience that sends your emotions, mind, thoughts, and entire being into shock. Grief is a mind scrambling as you try to figure out how to make everything right again from the perspective of this emergency. The event shatters your normal frame of reference and comfort zone, so your mind literally goes into overdrive – questioning and having to re-evaluate and worry about every minute detail, as you try to re-balance yourself.

    Grief is a continual bombardment of emotions, stress, shock
    and mental anguish. And people wonder why they feel overwhelmed!

     

    The Bereavement Process


    • Initially, your mind and emotions are in shock and totally overloaded. Intense emotions bombard you from every direction.
    • At the same time, you undergo the difficult task of putting your life back together.
    • Your mind bombards you with mind chatter, as you frantically think about everything in minute detail in an attempt to find the answers that you have no frame of reference for.

    This affects you mentally, as you feel the emotional, physical and mental strain of this incredibly overwhelming experience.

    If it has been several years since your loss, the emotions of this initial overload are still held within you are are affecting your ability to heal and continue with your life. It may sound incredible that you could still be carrying around this buried pain, even after a decade. But think about it: if something is buried, it stays buried until we bring it to the surface. This explains why you still feel the emotions so strongly today.

    • While you may not feel this initial overwhelming stage of grief now, it is still within you, affecting your everyday behaviors.
    • The coping techniques that your mind took on at the time of your loss are the ones you still use, even if they no longer serve you well.
    • If you became anxious and fearful of life after your loss, that became a part of you, and is still your way of life. (eg, if you became a worrier after a loss, you still worry today.)
