GRIEF Grief is a natural reaction to the death of a loved one or the
separation from someone we have treasured in life .
It is a journey which , if not prepared for , can be devastating ,
frightening , and often very lonely.
We can think , do , or even say things that are most unlike us
and yet , in grief , are very much part of our normal reaction .
Since it is unlikely that any two people will grieve alike , we
can not label anyone's reaction as being abnormal or neurotic .
Each person will grieve in a way that is right for him / her but
they must understand and accept each others unique way .
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF the bereaved
1 . Take time to let go
2 . Take time to make decisions .
3 . Take time to accept death .
4 . Take time to share .
5 . Take time to believe .
6 . Take time to forgive .
7 . Take time to feel good about yourself .
8 . Take time to meet new friends .
9 . Take time to laugh .
10 . Take time to give .
HOW CAN I HELP THE BEREAVED ?
Be Aware : remember that grief is normal and necessary .
Be There : learn to be with the person; without trying to
solve the problem .
Be Sensitive : allow the pain ; don't try to take it away .
Be Human : allow expressions of feelings ( guilt , anger ,
sorrow etc ) without judgment .
Be Ready : to listen when the story is told over & over again .
Be Patient : remember that the process of mourning takes time .
Avoid Cliches : " their suffering is over ", " it's god's will "
"you are young enough to have another child"
It's better to say nothing than to use cliches .
