Is It Tine to Visit Dr. Losito, PhD

 
1. Avoiding Family and Friends
It’s completely normal to need privacy as you process your feelings about the death of someone you cared for. It’s beneficial to take quiet times of reflection, maybe even writing your thoughts down in a journal. However, if you find yourself avoiding family and friends, it’s important to find out why.
2. Loss of Interest in Things You Once Enjoyed
Life doesn’t stop when someone you love dies. It’s okay to have interests, goals and activities that make you happy, and it’s healthy to pursue things you enjoy doing. However, grief sometimes causes people to lose interest in these things. You may even feel guilty about finding happiness. Therapy can help you come to terms with this and move forward.
3. Feeling Numb
Sadness, anger and confusion are all completely acceptable responses to death, but sometimes people experience the opposite — numbness to all emotions. If you’re finding it difficult to access your feelings because a loved one has died, therapy may be needed to help you understand your lack of emotion and even allow you to find a way to grieve healthily.
4. Escapism
There are other kinds of people who want to avoid their feelings at all costs. They find things to keep themselves busy, so they don’t have to deal with their sadness and grief. Burying your emotions and escaping can only work for so long. Eventually, you will need to come to terms with this huge life change.
5. Thoughts of Self-Harm or Suicide
If you’re considering hurting yourself or find yourself dwelling on your own death, this is one of the hallmarks of depressive thinking. Don’t let these thoughts plague your mind. Find someone you can trust to share these feelings with.
6. Changes in Behavior
Mood changes are normal when you’re experiencing grief. But if you find yourself acting or behaving in unexpected ways that are uncharacteristic of your personality, you should seek help. While in the midst of grief, some people find themselves doing things they wouldn’t normally do, and this could give rise to future issues. This is especially true of actions that could lead to patterns of addiction, like abusing drugs or alcohol.
Grief Is Not a Sign of Weakness
Seeking professional help to cope with your grief is not a sign of weakness. If you find yourself unable to move forward, grief counseling is especially helpful, and there is nothing to be ashamed of. Even if it makes you feel vulnerable, there is nothing wrong with asking for help. It may be the very thing you need to move on with your life.

When to Be Concerned

There are times when the grief experience can be overwhelming and individuals and/or families may need more extensive counseling and support. Clues to more complicated grief and mourning include:

• Lack of basic self-care
• Unusual and alarming behavior patterns
• Suicidal threats or attempts
• Multiple losses that can be overwhelming
• Severe withdrawal and/or depression
• Substance abuse
• Radical lifestyle changes.

Healing Strategies for Helping Families Grieve

It is important when working with anyone who is grieving to do the following:

• Become aware of your own personal issues around grief. This means becoming aware of your own fears, attitudes, and beliefs about grief. For example, if an individual were raised to believe that “We don’t air our dirty laundry in public,” then that individual may have difficulty helping a family who needs to vent and share their pain openly and/or with great emotion.
• Acknowledge the family’s grief. Label their experience as one of grief. Let them know they have a right to have their feelings.
• Be there. One’s presence can be the greatest gift given to a grieving individual. Sometimes holding someone’s hand, offering a hug, or just acknowledging, “This must be so hard for you,” can be enough to support someone in their grief process.
• Listen. Grieving people need to share their pain with another person who will not judge them or give them advice and suggestions. Listening to someone tell their story over and over can often be an invaluable gift to them in helping them sort through their feelings and release their pain.
• Offer “permission to grieve.” Teach grieving families that it is important to express the emotions of grief, but that there are ways to express the pain that are more healing than others. For example, an angry parent can learn to express their anger through physical activity such as yard work, tearing up old phone books, writing letters, or screaming in a pillow. The key is to help grieving people find constructive ways to release their feelings of grief rather than to take it out on others or themselves.
• Help families create a memory book. This might include photos, drawings, funny things someone said or did, etc. This is especially helpful to families who have experienced a death.
• Develop and encourage support groups. Support groups give families a chance to share their pain with others experiencing loss.
• Children love, therefore they grieve. Encourage children to participate in all of the above suggestions. By teaching children how to deal with the pain of loss early in life, we can teach them how to grieve the losses that are an inevitable part of their future lives, losses such as moving, divorce, the break-up of a relationship, or the death of a friend, loved one, or pet. Children can draw pictures or write letters to an ill sibling or grandparent as a way to express their love and concern.
• Encourage families to write letters to someone who has died or is ill. Frequently they can express many unresolved emotions in letters that need never be sent. Writing a letter or note to a family member who is in crisis respite may offer a caregiver a healing release of feelings of frustration and despair.

Emotions of Grief

People experience the pain of grief with a variety of emotional responses which include shock (“it can’t be true”), denial (“the tests were wrong”), anger (“why did she get AIDS and not someone else?”), guilt (“why did I smoke [or drink alcohol] during my pregnancy”), fear (“how will I manage to care for him?”), exhaustion, depression, confusion, and bargaining (“if only we could have a miracle”). These are just a few of the myriad of emotions people in grief experience. It is also important to understand that people experience these emotions in a roller-coaster fashion: sometimes feeling up and hopeful, other days feeling deeply depressed, other days coasting along and feeling virtually no emotion. All of these emotions are a normal part of the grief and mourning process.

The Bereavement Director Is Experiencing Grief

Over the years, I have taken care of many Patients, Families, and Medical Personnel. Now as the years continue to pass by many of my own Advisors and Mentors have made the ongoing transition to the Final Analysis of Life.

Now I pray each one of these Holy Priests will Intercede for me as I proceed towards the Final Analysis of Life.
