Living With Loss

It's OK Not To Be OK: How To Cope With Grief and Anger After The Loss of A Loved One

We live in a fast-paced, almost frantic world.

Every day, we rush to work, we rush home, and we create timetables by which we live because there are simply not enough hours in a day.

When you get sick, you get a few days off from work (if that), and you're expected to bounce back in a flash.

When you break up with someone and feel like your world is crashing around you, the bosses don't care, and your friends tell you to forget about it and move on.

So what happens when you have to go through the hardest experience in life - the loss of a loved one?

Is there a timetable for mourning?

Everyone who has ever lost someone will tell you that, sadly, there is. You are expected to bounce back after a certain time as if your emotions work like a button.

This is simply the society we created, and sometimes, it backfires on us.

But here's a piece of news to ease your mind and soul: no matter what society tells you, you have the right to mourn as long as you want, in any way you want.

Grief isn't tangible, nor can it be measured or standardized.

The best thing you can do is give yourself time.

The second best thing you should do for yourself is to get to know your grief.

Once you delve deep into it, once you get a grasp on all those emotions you're feeling, you'll be able to live with them, overcome some of them, and ultimately, move on.
