Psychology: Grief as necessary
Introduction
As a human being, we are inclined to experience loss of the loved ones at some point in life. Because of that, it implies that grief is always a normal way of reacting towards the loss or death of our loved ones. In this case, grief mainly encompasses a wide range of feelings from anger to deep sadness. The mechanism of adapting to such a significant ultimately varies dramatically from one person to another. This scenario always depends on the beliefs, relationship, and backgrounds of a person towards the deceased.
Conversely, an individual’s style of grieving, whether instrumental (cognitive) or intuitive (emotional), is one of the contributing factors. As we all know, there are many ways of mourning the loss of the loved one. The suffering and the pain a person experiences sometimes is overwhelming. Suffering the loss of the loved one and recovering from such a situation are some of the difficult thing a person does. To the majority of individuals who are experiencing grief, there is the need of offering them additional support because people have different ways of handling their grieving moments. Because of that, it means that there are types of grief which requires professional intervention, for examples prolonged grief, traumatic grief, or complicated grief. All these forms of grief are fundamentally associated with deaths which are violent, traumatic, or sudden events in which several deaths occurs. For that reason, therapy is considered to be the ultimate means of moving an individual forward from these types of grief.
