When we lose a loved one we all grieve differently but there are some commonalities in the grieving process. 1. Denial: You may feel numb or like you are in a mental fog. It is our minds way of trying to protect itself from a devastating loss. You may feel like you are watching a movie and not really experiencing what is going on. Talk with someone, anyone who will listen and be honest about what you are going through. 2. Anger: You might be angry with God for taking your loved one. You may feel angry at Doctors, nurses, or anyone who could have done something to save your loved one. You might be angry with yourself for not doing more. If you are feeling anger toward someone as a result of your grief, talking openly will help you work past it. 3. Guilt: Why did I say that? Why didn't I say I love you more? How can I be smiling at a time like this? Feelings of guilt can be all consuming. They can begin to take over if you let them. These are self defeating thoughts and our loved ones would not want us to feel guilty. 4. Depression: Sometime depression hits us hard and fast, knocking us down and crushing us with sadness, loneliness, and hopelessness. It can also creep up on us slowly as all the color begins to fade away and we no longer derive enjoyment from life. Depression is a scary thing and we must take it seriously. Be honest with others and ourselves if it is getting out of control. Seek support, do not feel ashamed you are not alone in your pain. 5. Acceptance: This is when you will begin to feel like you can go on. It will never be the same. You will always miss your loved one but you can create a new normal. This is when you start to put the pieces back together. This may also be when you are able to remember the good times and cherish your memories.

When we experience the loss of someone close we are flooded with emotions, thoughts, and regrets. Why did I say that? Or if only... We feel guilt over not always appreciating our loved one and for not showing how much we really did care for them. We may wonder why? Why did they have to leave us so soon or in this way? We are rarely prepared for someone to pass and it is so hard to understand why.. We may feel so consumed with grief that we can not think, eat, or sleep. If we get to this point we must consider how our loved one would want us to carry on and find support from others. You are not alone.Most Reviewed Funeral Homes
