YOUR HEALTH

What is loss and grief? G rief is a universal, instinctual and an adaptive reaction to loss, particularly the grief from the loss of a loved one. Feelings of loss are very personal and only we know what is significant. Less obvious losses can also cause strong feelings of grief such as loss of possessions, job, relationship, health or physical ability.

Loss is an inevitable part of life and grief is a natural part of the healing process that varies for different people. The grieving process allows those left behind, after a death, to accept the person is no longer around.

f THERE will be triggers of grief that will arise and a wave will come crashing down but in between there is life.

WA Grower SPRING 2021

When experiencing and reacting to grief, it is common to: • feel sad or depressed, anxious, nervous or fearful;

• be irritable or angry (at the deceased, ourself, others); • feel frustrated or misunderstood; • feel like we want to escape; • experience guilt or remorse; • be ambivalent, lack energy and motivation.

Each one of us has an individual style of coping with painful experiences (there is no right or wrong way). Some people don’t show their grief in public but only express it in private. We don’t always know how people are coping simply by what we see.
