Psychologists spoke about the reaction to the death of a loved one

This was reported by the Telegram channel "Psychological support".

"If the deceased person was important to you, you were worried about him, loved or respected him - was it a partner, father or mother, child or brother - you can feel a "cosmic" emptiness in your heart. Your daily being and vision of your future suddenly changes or is interrupted. It may seem to you that life has lost both purpose and meaning, "say psychologists.

How might people respond to the sudden or unexpected loss of a loved one?

Shock.

“The reaction can be literally the opposite - from complete fading to screaming and groaning, bodily pain. Shock is a normal reaction to a sudden or unexpected loss, but a person’s behavior in this state is unpredictable and very individual: your behavior can frighten not only others, but also you ", the message says.

Despondency.

Sudden death - yesterday the person was, and today he is gone - the situation seems to be “not closed”: it is difficult to accept that the person has left.

Difficulty performing even ordinary tasks.

It can be difficult for a person in shock to perform the simplest tasks - cooking, keeping the house clean, dressing itself can cause extraordinary difficulties.

Feelings of pain, guilt, or anger.
