Zhengzhou Chinese Medical Hall: Each of us will experience loss in life. When we lose someone or something we care about, we experience grief. We need to learn to deal with this grief when it affects us deeply.
People experience grief when faced with many situations, including the death of a loved one, divorce, leaving home, business, miscarriage, death of a pet, etc.
Sadness can be expressed in many ways. We will also have some physical problems due to sadness, such as sleeping problems, stomach pain , increased food intake, weight gain, and weight loss. When we are sad, we sometimes experience anger or fear.
So how do we deal with grief?
1. Keep a diary. When we record our thoughts and feelings in a diary, we will feel a sense of relief, as if the negative energy in our hearts has been transferred to the pen tip and notebook. When we look back at our diaries, it also helps us see ourselves from a third-person perspective and gain new feelings, thoughts, attitudes, and emotions.
2. Talk to relatives. Talk to your loved ones about how this made them feel. They also talk about their feelings, and when we are sad, we can feel empowered and recover from their conversations with us.
3. Join a psychological support group. When we participate in group psychological activities, we will meet some people who have the same or similar experiences as us. We listen to their stories, hear their feelings, share our stories, share our feelings, so that we can gain support from the group.
4. Talk to a counselor. If you are unwilling to join a psychological group, or there is no suitable psychological group in your area, you can choose to have a one-on-one conversation with a psychological counselor.
Remember, we can't rush things. If we want ourselves to become happy quickly from the grief process through one or two consultations, give ourselves more time and believe that the difficult times will pass.
