Sadly people pass away from many different reasons and in a number of ways. Sometimes we are well prepared for the death and, at other times it can come unexpectedly. For individuals who are actually dying, there’s nothing harder than the awareness of dying and for those of us watching, the sadness and fear can be unbearable as you watch a close one pass away.

The feelings we experience when dealing with a death is known as grief. Many individuals can also feel anger that someone close to them has passed away. The grieving process for many, can be long and many people can fall into a pit of depression, whilst others can manage grief pretty well.

The best sustenance for any mourning is for the living family to pull together and comfort each other as the grief cycle has several stages; denial, then anger, bargaining, depression and finally acceptance. It’s important, therefore, for family members to stick together throughout the whole grieving process.

The 1st stage is denial and disbelief that someone so close has died. Many of us will ask ‘why?’ and several refuse to take in that the person is no longer around.

This feeling is then followed by anger. You might be angry that this person has left you alone or angry that they have youngsters who are now also alone in the world. Anger is a very common feeling after death.

A small leap in faith, although a fantasy is the bargaining part and is brought on by the weakness that the person is feeling.

Depression can then step in, once we realise this person is not coming back, and the remainder of our lives are going to be lived without this person. Coming out of the depression, which for many people usually takes years, is a sign of acceptance. Acceptance means you have now come to terms with the death and feel ready to get on with the rest of your life.
