Grief is a silent killer. Make no mistake about the fact that if a person is not howling or bawling, the person is not crying inside. Grief eats away at the very core of life. Before you realize, it has already eroded much of your life force, leaving you bitter and pessimistic. In the competitive world of today, there’s little time or scope to feel aggrieved. You have to pick yourself up, dust yourself and look forward for tomorrow.
A professional knows the intricacies of the mind and how to explore it. In grief management programmes, you will be encouraged to express your feelings. The most colossal problem of dealing with grief is that you are fighting the unknown. Once you start expressing your emotions, you begin the process of coming to terms with your loss. You are no longer scared of staring at a blank wall. You are talking to someone who’s allowing you an impartial, unprejudiced and non-judgmental overflow of emotions.
