What can be done
Every year, millions of people around the world suffer the tragedy of the death of a loved one. The incredible shock and excruciating pain that often accompanies it is really hard to overcome.
Maybe you or someone you know has this loss. What can this person do to relieve the pain and return to a more normal standard of living?
Some have said that “time is a good doctor” and that its evolution will bring life back to a more normal routine. But time itself does not heal anything. It's what you do with your time that hurts or heals. Time after death can be misused for self-pity, or it can be put to good use to develop a satisfactory standard of living.
While there are a variety of issues, it is important to learn to live without a loved one. The steps you take will determine the number of scars remaining and the length of your grieving period. And there are a number of things that many find helpful in dealing with the problem, things that relate to everyday life.
But there is something else, something that is very helpful in relieving pain and allowing the person to continue to be optimistic. This was what Anita and her family had, and it surprised the doctors and nurses who came to them because it turned out to be much needed help.
But first, let's take a look at a few things in your daily routine that have proven helpful in coping with the loss of a loved one.
Take back responsibility
Of course, in the event of death, you will have to take a break from your normal routine for a while. Some may indicate a long period of mourning. But it can lengthen the process of overcoming the pain and make it harder to overcome self-pity.
As such, many find it helpful to return to a more normal routine when it is convenient for them. For example, a couple worked together on a bread delivery route. But the tragedy occurred when the man fell from a roof he was working on and died. The woman says:
“Partly for financial reasons, I had to get back to work quickly. After two weeks, I returned to deliver the bread.
But in a way, it was a blessing. Necessity is a good teacher. It helped me reconnect with other people in society, listen to their issues and think about others instead of just thinking about my sad situation.
“When I forced myself back to work as soon as possible, I had to take responsibility that I knew I had to face anyway.
Change your environment
Some of those who died in the family think it is good to let time pass before they reveal things or make big changes. The last question, however, is: should you keep the belongings of the deceased? Maybe you do. But even here, some things can be useful later, for example. B. Men's tools for home repairs.
But what if stored personal items cause constant depression because they are painful memories of loss? Trying to keep things the way they were or live as if the loved one is still there does not help you get through the pain. Instead, you can turn a house into a museum with sad memories.
After a first period of pain, it is best to see how much change needs to be made to meet your new needs in life, so that the past does not interfere unnecessarily in the present.
Remarrying
If a spouse is lost, the survivor may eventually choose to remarry. But since no one develops exactly the same conditions, no one else will replace the one who died. There is no point in finding someone who does. However, the new one can be as unique as the old one, which is very satisfying.
In many cases, the spouse may decide not to remarry or stay alone any longer. These people can quickly discover that they have a greater ability to do things than they thought. The extra responsibility to do more to raise children, cook or do other activities previously performed by someone else can give up previously underdeveloped personal resources. Even children often think that they can do much more than they thought when they adapted to the loss of a parent. They can be much more useful for household chores or for caring for younger relatives.
Although friends can never replace a loved one who is lost in death, they can be of great help and comfort. You can volunteer to take care of many things. If they are trusted friends, you can also ask them to help you. Of course, you should not be too dependent on them. But a true friend who listens and continues to trust, who will accept some of your burdens for a while and help you make smart decisions, is invaluable in a time of need.
Therefore, practical considerations such as these can help a person return to a more normal life after the death of a loved one.
