Research Notes on Dealing with Grief
Healthy grieving can be a long, slow process for some. At first a person may feel shock or numb. This is usually followed by feelings of sadness, distress, anger and guilt. This is normal. If months pass and there is no improvement, it's possible that clinical depression has developed. Professional help may be beneficial. Grief is emotional and physical. Health problems can be brought on due to stress, problems sleeping and lack of interest in eating.1
Fast Facts:
- Signs of clinical depression may include feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness, continual thoughts of death, suicidal thoughts, uncontrolled crying, delusions and slowed thinking and physical responses.1
- Expressing thoughts and feelings are an important part of healing.1
- Ongoing emotional support from family and friends is important.1
