Where's the Grief?
Grief is most commonly associated with situations where there has been a death. So, what happens when people are grieving but nobody has died? Grief really is a part of everyday living. For instance, it has been acknowledged without dispute that caring for a family member with dementia is a grieving experience. The grief can be expressed in many ways and can have a significant impact on the ability to provide care and maintain one's well-being.
Symptoms of grief mimic depression so commonly, the grief is overlooked and you may obtain a diagnosis of depression and a prescription for an anti-depressant to relieve the pain. Although helpful, the grief remains unresolved, unaddressed. Unfortunately unresolved grief does not dissolve but rather festers until the next loss and then the reaction is magnified or the grief gets manifested in other ways such as ulcers, headaches, or in more serious ways.
There are many benefits to acknowledging, assessing, and assisting by processing one's grief. The benefits include empowerment, relief, comfort, peace, and truth in dealing with the core issues related to loss.
