Mindful techniques for healing from grief: Therapist recommends

Grief is very personal. The way one views grief and finds a way to navigate through it depends on various factors. But the way to get over grief is the way through it. It is important to learn to be empathetic and calm with ourselves when we walk through grief to find peace. “When it comes to grief, there isn’t a right or wrong day to do it, but the pillars of mindfulness can be an excellent starting point,” wrote Therapist Andrea Evgeniou.

Grief and OCD: Here's what we need to know

Grief goes through five stages - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. For people with OCD, grief can be far more challenging. "Grief can be uniquely challenging as obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors may intensify the emotions. Individuals with OCD might find themselves ruminating excessively on the deceased person or dwelling on perceived past mistakes and missed opportunities. The constant need for reassurance, ritualistic behaviors, and avoidance strategies may escalate, hindering the natural progression through the stages of grief. The persistent doubts and fears inherent in OCD can magnify the already complex emotions associated with loss," wrote Therapist Maythal Eshaghian.

It’s when you have to grieve the future you wanted to share with someone or when you have to let go of the idea that your family will look a certain way," wrote Therapist Lalitaa Suglani.

Things about grief we didn't know before

Grief is a very personal feeling. Sadness or grief, no matter how much we discuss or communicate with others, is still a feeling that cannot be communicated in words completely. What we feel is only for us to feel. Hence, grief also goes through the process of understanding and accepting it, and eventually finding a way to deal with it. This process is a difficult one to take and a lonely way as well. Marriage and family therapist Elizabeth Earnshaw addressed the unknown things about grief in her recent Instagram post.
