Effects Of Death – Part 1

There are multiple levels to the effects of death. One of it is when the individual is continuously mourning the individual that they lost.

Excessive feelings:

Is there something wrong with excessive feelings being demonstrated by people?

Some individuals are always crying and not able to get over the death of the person. They are overtly emotional and there seems to be no way that is satisfying them to express their emotions. They are crying all the time and seem to be inconsolable.

It is important to keep track of such individuals as they may be highly emotional.

Some tips that will help:

1. Help the person to express to people that are not known biased or opinionated.

2. Help them to get connected to a good counsellor that can listen to them unbiased.

3. Help them to grieve in the way they know best. Sometimes people are boxed in the way they should grieve or the way that they should behave around death, but it is more than that.

4. Allow the individual to be involved in other things other than the talking, allow the individual to do things that they are interested in like exploring hobbies or activities that they enjoy.

5. Not undermining their emotions is very important. Allowing them to feel free to vocalize their emotions is essential in this journey.

Physical Aspect:

An individual can go through a feeling of tiredness going through this season of grief. The tiredness of the mind will also have an impact on the body.

1. Emotional exhaustion causes the tiredness. The constant thoughts will make the mind tired and this will cause a fatigue of the body. When there is tiredness in the body then no amount of emotional work will help the individual. When there is a tiredness emotionally, then there will automatically be an effect and impact on the physical.

2. When the body is not taken care off then there will be a tiredness that comes which will affect the emotional aspect.

The tips that can be kept in mind are:

1. Allow the person to get into a systematic routine where they are active and able to use their talents and abilities.

2. Get the individual in touch with a support group where they are able to express their progress and difficulties with those who are confidential in nature.

3. Offer regular counselling services so that the individual will feel heard and understood.

4. Allow the individual to take adequate rest as well. The individual should feel rested so that the emotional care can be fruitful.

The physical and emotional aspects are connected so deeply. So, working on the emotional part only will be taking care of the matter partially. This recovery may not happen immediately. It may happen in phases, but the important aspect to note is that both aspects need to be addressed.

It is important to note that some individuals are open and they are willing to discuss their emotions while others will refrain from discussing what they are going through. All of these emotions must be discussed in a safe place for the individual.
