Numb79 Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 For those of you that know the stages of grief.... it is very similar to the stages of a break up. Today as I was laying in bed, I was hit by a wave of sadness. It was as if this person was dead. The fact that she lives in a different country means that I will never hear, see, or know anything about them. I have never had to deal with death before, so I don't know how to cope with this. Its a very weird feeling. I have been through a break up before.....but I never thought of such a thing. Perhaps its because I am now older....(32) and more mature? How does one cope with these thoughts?
robkris8079 Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 accept them as they come, deal with them as they come, don't let yourself sit in one stage too long and DO NOT try and stick to the stages in stages. Meaning if it says sadness, then anger, then whatever don't try and make them go in that order. It's a roller coaster with loops turns and this one even goes backwards at the end. As scared as you are when you hear that seatbelt click just know that you will be ok and the ride will come to a stop eventually. coping made simple is do something for just you. Only you with no one else in mind. If you buy new clothes but in your head saying he/she would have like that then your doing it wrong. If your getting fit to show he/she how good looking you have become again your wrong. As much as the word selfish gets tossed around here in a negative connotation this is the time to make it work for you.
