1. When we are grieving, we can talk not only about death but also about other things we have lost: a lost relationship, a lost friendship, school over, quitting a job, moving. It can all be a loss and we can grieve. It is important that we understand the other losses that come with what we have lost.
2. Grief may not be a process that can be lived and ended. Rather than trying to get over the thing/person/time we lost, we need to accept this loss.
3. Acknowledging the feelings that come with grief can help us.
4. Losses change our lives, it is important that we adapt to the circumstances that come with loss rather than waiting for a return.
5. It will be good for us to celebrate, commemorate and talk about the passing of the thing/person we have lost in our lives.
I made a detailed video on this topic. To watch it, simply write “lost and mourning sebnem kiroglu” on Youtube.
