Growing up you experienced deaths of goldfish, hamsters, dogs, and cats. This was hard on you and you have vivid memories of their “burials” and “funerals” as well as the sadness associated with their deaths. You knew friends who experienced deaths of their grandparents and even their parents and your heart ached for them. However, until recently, you have not experienced the death of a family member or close friend. You wonder “How do I deal with this loss?” “What are the normal ways to act and feel?” “Why am I feeling this way?” These questions are on your mind and you have not gotten answers from people around you. Many have said to you things like “They are in a better place”, “You will get over it with time”, and “It was meant to be”. However, you are tired of hearing these things from people who may be well meaning but seemingly clueless about how you are feeling and or what you need from them. You are having a hard time sleeping and working. You are self medicating with shopping, eating your favorite sweets, or sleeping too much. You are trying to get to some level of “normalcy” again but don’t know where to begin. It has been a few months since the death of your loved one, and you still feel stuck. So many people are saying different things to you about how to think, feel, and act. You feel so confused.
Loss is not solely related to death. You may be feelings sadness, confusion, frustration, and anger related to other situations such as loss of a job, end of a relationship, or the diagnosis of an illness. You just want some answers about how to feel better and get back to your “old self” again. You read online about the benefits of therapy and decide to give it a try.
