In what ways can grief impact our physical health and how can we cope with it?

Question

From what I enjoy hearing, loss deepens one's psychological state and can seriously affect one's physical health. Would it be possible for you to elaborate how does the grief affect and brings changes to a person's body and talk through how they can cope and work through losing a loved one?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer 3

I’m having the same kinds of feelings of grief that she described for my desire for marriage. It’s something I’ve longed for all my life and it hasn’t come to pass. I wanted to be a wife and a mother but it will not happen for me. My grief feels overwhelming.

Answer 4

My mom died 2 months ago. I came home from work and found her. It was unexpected and it broke me. Her sister who was like a mom to me passed away 7 months earlier from cancer. I read about my mom grieving herself to death. I tried so hard to help her but I couldn’t. Now I feel so alone. I still live in the house I shared with them. I don’t know how to move on from this. I feel stuck in grief. I just don’t know how to get out.

Answer 5

I think all violence, even against oneself, is about control. The desire to avoid the surprise of whatever grief is inevitably next?

Answer 9

I lost my child at 39 weeks. This type is even more difficult as the science shows the child's cells stay with mom and he's forever with me. Every day is different but always a sadness underneath.

Answer 10

This is good. My husband died 11 years ago. We hide this normal process away which does not help! The Irish Wakes are sorely missed.
But I have a friend (bereaved) who doesn't want to learn change her state. A type of addiction I'd say.

Answer 19

Every answer to every problem is TIME for the use of our TIME determines our health, relationships, and legacy. The triangular hierarchy remains the same with FAMILY preceding a line of generational understanding of what TIME is and means. The true balance of teaching independence alongside of loyalty is TIME balance skills. Love is the byproduct of this zero cost but high value reflection. Grief and loss is unescapable! However with TIME balance skills we can make TIME for what we LOVE. PERIOD and if it doesn't occur through avoidance then karma will pay it forward.
