How to Handle Emotions of Losing Someone

I am not an expert. This article is solely just an opinion. I wrote this to help others cope with losing someone that they loved dearly.

Nearly every person in the world goes through some feelings that one can not explain when we lose someone. We often don't even know how to begin to cope with losing someone.

Every person has emotions of grief. We often have feelings of anger, sadness,or indirectly feel guilty. We usually don't know what to think at times of losing someone. It is normal for one to feel anger. It is normal for one to feel sadness. It is normal for one to feel indirectly responsible. It is normal for someone to wonder the "what if" a zillion times in our head.

Sometimes we may feel like putting a gun to our head due to feeling like we have been ripped apart inside of our heart when someone we loved very much dies. This is called a downward spiral of where we are going off the deep end. When you have any thoughts about suicide then it is time to seek the help of a therapist in order to save yourself from doing it. Suicide is only a permenant solution to a temporary long term issue that can we worked out with therapy.

Every holiday may remind us of the person that we deeply loved very much. Every birthday may remind us of the person that we lost. We may end up crying our hearts out on those days. The date of the day that we lost that person may make us cry. Some of these overwhelming emotions may make us fall to our knees curled up into a ball up against a wall just crying for several hours. Sometimes we can not control this emotions that we feel. It may last for several years unless we get help for it through therapy. Therapy will not fix the problem overnight. The emotions that we feel during certain dates will always stay with us no matter the amount of therapy that we go through, but it will less the blow so to speak.

We may not understand why we cry at times. We may not understand at times why a certain song reminds us of them. We may not understand why we have certain triggers that remind us of them. We may not understand why we might feel that we failed a certain person that we didn't do everything in our power to save them. We have to let go of all of these emotions otherwise it will drive us insane.

We have to grab our self together in the head. We can not let things conssume us forever otherwise we will never be able to function properly. Therapy will help us be able to talk about her or him without crying anytime we say their name. We will eventually be able to talk about him or her to others telling the good memories without crying our hearts out.
