SADNESS & GRIEF

Myth about grief:

“The pain will go away fast If I ignore it”

The fact is, if you continuously ignore your emotions rather than dealing with it head on, it can make the situation much worse and will take a toll on your mental health.

When dealing with sadness/grief, it is vital to cater to your needs as much as possible. This doesn’t mean dropping every responsibility, however, finding time to have your own peace can go a long way.

there is no “normal” timetable for grieving

Grieving should not be rushed, however, grief for longer than 6 months would be considered severe and counseling would be recommended.

HOW TO DEAL WITH IT:

  1. Acknowledge your pain.

  2. Accept that grief can trigger many different and unexpected emotions.

  3. Understand that your grieving process will be unique to you.

  4. Seek out face-to-face support from people who care about you.

  5. Support yourself emotionally by taking care of yourself physically.
