To lose a family member suddenly due to neglect or at the hands of another person is staggering. You may feel overwhelmed emotionally, mentally, and physically. You are left to face financial challenges in addition to everything else you must contend with. At a time like this, grief counseling may help you and surviving family members sort out the feelings and emotions you are experiencing.
Surviving the Heartache of Wrongful Death
Lives are upended when someone is a victim of wrongful death. Suddenly, you’ve hit a big black wall and the world as you know it has ended. In your heart, you may want the world to stop, if only for a moment, and yet it goes on. Your feelings may run the gamut of fear, anger, helplessness, and, of course, the deepest sadness imaginable. Knowing what to do with all these competing emotions may elude and frustrate you. Finding help in a qualified grief counselor may help you get a handle on your emotions so that you can begin to put your life back together again.
It’s important to realize that everyone handles grief in their own way. The length of time for grieving also varies from person to person. Getting support, whether through professional counseling or a peer-led grief support group, may be critical to helping you in the healing process.
