While death is something that can be expected, having it
happen to a loved one, especially under unexpected
circumstances can be a traumatic experience for anyone.
While friends and family can be a great help when it comes
to coping with the feelings of loss and pain, there are
times when that just isn't enough. That's where finding
support groups that understand our needs comes into play,
providing us with help and understanding when the words and
condolences of friends and family can't heal the wounds the
death of a spouse or other loved one such as a child causes
us.
Even when death is expected, such as with cancer or other
debilitating illness, finding the ways and means to cope
with the loss can be harder to deal with than the loss
itself. Finding support groups has become much easier now
that the Internet is an available resource. You wouldn't
think that sitting down and using a search engine like
Google or Bing to look for groups that are specific to our
needs is what we may need to do after a death, but in
today's world, it is a very real option.
There are too many times when that death comes as a
surprise, whether it be from a car accident or sudden
illness. Often we are left with questions and feelings we
are unable to cope with. There are many different ways -
groups, chat rooms, councilors, that will offer you the
shoulder you need. The people in these support groups have
often had to deal with similar situations and can offer
their experiences. You can believe them when they say "I
understand" as they have gone through something very
similar.
Use your experience to search for groups that will fit the
needs you have. Having a group of people that can understand
is an effective way to start coping with the loss.
Having to winnow out specific groups that will best serve
our needs in terms of coping with the grief and
ramifications of the death of a loved one isn't something we
would ever want to do. However, knowing these bereavement
groups are out there to understand our needs and help us to
sort through the pain and find ways to handle the denial is
a comfort. You should not wait to find a group - their
support can help you get back to living your life.
