Grief affects us on every level: emotionally, physically spiritually, and mentally. We can no more control it than we can predict it. If someone close to you is grieving, it’s important to understand that this will impact every area of their life and they won’t feel ‘normal’ again for some time. They need to assimilate their loss, to absorb the shock waves, and to go through their own personal journey to healing.
Working through grief takes time, so don’t expect too much too soon. They will need to focus on the process, the journey rather than the destination. They need to allow themselves the luxury of feeling the pain and grieving. Just as we laugh when we are happy, we need to allow ourselves to hurt through our loss. It is only through allowing it to wash over us that we come through to the other side.
