Grief Expert Julia Samuel on the Secret to Coping With Death | Lorraine

[@shivanimittal100]

My dad passed 15 days ago and I cannot explain the pain I feel every single minute of every hour. It’s worse than dying. There is no comforting that.

[@MsCanadian26]

My dad died just 5 days ago and I'm heartbroken. Losing a loved one especially a parent is devastating. I cry everyday. Sending hugs your way. Be strong for your mom and family ❤

[@derintokatli7217]

My dad passed 2 weeks ago. 😢 I’m devastated. I understand what you’re going through. Wishing we all have some comfort..

[@shivanimittal100]

@@derintokatli7217 Hey, I wish that too. Now that some time has passed and I have decided I will live wholeheartedly, it is better. I wouldn’t say it gets better with time but you will definitely adapt better, learn to live with it. The pain will also be a sweet reminder of the love you have in your heart. Always focus on the love. The grieving is natural, let it take over you, it’s the part of the process. Also now is a great time to depend on your loved ones and friends. It helps a lot. Stay strong.

Something I remember from a couple years ago when I was trying to understand grief was that the person that passed away, wherever they are, they're resting, they're happy, and the people that suffer the most are those that lost them. But to always remember the passed soul is okay, and same will happen to us one day. So it can't be bad. Missing someone is the hardest

[@lrice439]

The love of my life, my beautiful partner died in my arms Saturday, i thought she was sleeping on my chest. Rang an ambulance and started cpr until paramedics arrived. She was taken to hospital and put into itu, i hoped and prayed for 4 days that my partner would return, yesterday i was told she had catastrophic brain damage and that she wouldnt be able to survive it, the decision was made to stop life support and she passed today, i don't think I'll ever get over this, i miss her so much. I wouldn't wish this pain on anyone and thats reason im still here, i want to go with her but realise i would only be passing my grief onto others. I must endure this pain and when im finding it unbearable i think what my partner would want and im going to make her proud and continue to honour her name. We will be together once more it just isnt time yet.

I can understand things getting worse. I thought they would get better. In some way I am better as I am not looking to take my life as much any more but in some ways I am worse as it is the loneliest I have ever felt. My mum is my foundation.

The only thing I can do with extreme grief is accept that it will never go away. I can share the pain with others, journal about it, or scream in a closet but it's still mine. Being somewhere between happy and sad became normal and I never know when my loss will make it all go dark again.

[@nellievaughn7755]

That is simply not true. I have suffered devastating loss, and your life can contain grace, beauty, and genuine happiness again. The pain gets to a point where it's possible to face, and to allow to wash over you.

I lost my beautiful mother 2 days ago, she was only 62 and I’m 31. I watched her die for 6 hours and she was awake. It was absolutely the most traumatic thing I have witnessed. I am haunted that she may have been aware, scared, and sad. A tear trickled down her cheek a few times during the process. It’s unbearable right now to think of a future without her and all of the things she will never do. It feels so wrong for a family of 4 to become a family of 3. I haven’t experienced any signs of her presence yet and it’s heart wrenching. Maybe I’m looking for the wrong thing or maybe her soul is still here. I don’t know what to believe.

[@mariaturunova9695]

My mum died a month ago, though it feels like yesterday. She was 70, I'm 35. I also watched her die for several hours, scream for help and suffocate. She had a rare blood cancer that grew extremely fast. I gave it all I had, was with her 24/7, but it was clearly not enough. Can totally relate to your emotions. Is it even possible to forget all this pain she was in?

This is great advice on how to cope with grief as hard as it is. We must learn to express our pain and sadness and heal our minds and physical as well.

My mother was being neglected by my siblings her passing was extremely traumatic for me. I tried everything to help my mom while they ignored my calls for them to help. I have PSTD from the events. They wanted no service but the funeral home allowed me an hour to say goodbye. The youngest of 5 I sat by my mom in a borrowed casket dressed in a plastic hospital gown moms clothes weren’t usable. After saying goodbye mom was cremated placed in a plastic box. I bought a beautiful urn and gave my mother the respect of a separate service she deserved. I have therapy and two years later I still can’t understand how children can be so full of disrespect and hate. The day I picked up mom’s ashes I had to rescue my nieces abandoned dog left alone in the home without water in 100 degree heat with windows closed. They neglected my nieces dog left behind. The trauma is overwhelming. No human should live through this much trauma. The siblings haven’t spoken to me ever. They are too busy enjoying themselves.

I thought I'd have at least 2 more years. I took off work when my father died and spent just about every minute with her for the past 2 years. Her purse and wallet are still on the kitchen table.

I'm so sorry for your loss. 🙏 My husband and I had 36 wonderful yrs. We did everything together. I'm lost without him. So broken it has only been 8 days since I lost him. This is my 2nd day alone. My family has gone home. I just don't know how I will get through this. I am going to have to get help 😢 or I will lose my mind.

[@Dreestocaland]

I miss my best friend oli and my mentor Clare. They both passed away a couple of months apart. So technically at the same time. Idk how I can cope with this any longer. I just can’t anymore.

Read the book during my binge reading of grief literature after my mother passed suddenly from camver, good read.

[@dadada486]

I think with grief there is no right way, there is no fix, but grief doesn't mean you can't be happy again. You won't move on, but it doesn't mean you can enjoy life after.

SOMEONE LOVES YOU HERE Is A Tribute To Our Loved Ones Here And Gone, And To Ourselves As we navigate through life's uncertain twists and turns, none of us know what the future holds. In their presence or absence, whether they are still with us or have passed away, expressing the depth of our emotions and communicating the significance of their presence in our lives is essential for healing and remembrance. Such expressions serve to create a legacy of love, a bond, that will endure the test of time. ..... May 'Someone Loves You Here' be of service to you and yours! Someone Loves You Here (youtube.com)

FINALLY, someone who isn't telling me this to shall pass. Losing David will never be ok, or get better. Either I will become a bit more accustomed to him not being home with me, or GOD will take me too.

[@deathrott]

I lost my cat this Tuesday. The guilt from it is imprisoning my soul so deep because timing didn't let me help him end it without the agony and suffering he endured the day he passed because everything was closed monday for me to have that day to know it was time. There cant be a way to fight the feeling of seeing him pass that way because at the moment i froze and knew i would only be kidding myself to rush to the vet when he was literally chocking gasping for his literally last of air, begging me because it hurt his soul. Its like being in one of those horror movies where one is being forced to see someone they truly love get k1lled by something so evil and cant do nothing about it. Sorry for this sounding so negative but its not my first pet that passed like this so its haunting me to the core because i thought I'd promise not to let this happen again like that and time creeped out and took my beautiful casper from me in such way i just know im trapped within my soul to not know how im gunna see life after.

[@caitlinlucas1668]

I also lost my cat this past wednesday... she passed while i was asleep. she had a vet appointment on thursday. i am beside myself with guilt and heartbroken. just want you to know you aren't alone, your comment resonated with me.

[@magpiestudent9357]

I am so sorry for both of your losses. I feel like grieving for a pet is not taken as seriously as it should be by society. It is heart-wrenching.

I became a widow at age 44… in my writing of this production on grief of researching the effects on the brain and the nervous system thank you for re-enforcing that and help him bring awareness that death can just reek havoc on the mind body, soul, and spirit We don’t know what to say to each other and even right now I’m struggling how to say holding you in space for your experience. I always say I get it. I definitely don’t know how you feel nobody knows but you and you’re doing an excellent excellent job processing grief and then using yours to help others…. Much appreciation you help me tonight as I’m writing this thing I’m actually going back through all the stages of grief he’s been gone 9 1/2 years and honestly I’m not sure that I actually ever totally did the acceptance one but anyway, thanks for popping up on my feed.

Grief will not go away with a expert. It’s different for everybody to talk about it only keeps the hurt there. There’s no magic fix.

[@BUBBLESPOGO]

Your absolutely right. Their suggestions may help different ones. However, the pain of agonizing grief is devastating to the soul. One is forced into the deep, agonizing, frightening pit of grief. It's a hard, hard sorrowful journey to get to the shore of sanity and even then, the rain, wind and clouds will always be there, never to leave one in peace for who knows how long. For many, forever.😢😢😢😢😢

‘After George is accidentally shot by Karen, Odi slowly comes down the stairs. He kneels next to George and says hello to him, asking what he can do for him. George tells Odi that he’s sorry that Odi is going to be on his own. Odi looks at George and tells him, “We are not alone, George. Mary (who died) is in the next room. She is preparing Eggs Benedict. She won’t let let me help her because last time I burned them. In Spain. Tarragona.” George holds Odi’s crooked arm in his hand. George smiles up at Odi as Odi continues, “It was so hot that day. You ate three oranges from a tree. You have died George.” After George dies, Odi looks up with a blank expression, stock still with George’s hand still on his arm.’ The above is from the series, ‘Humans’.

An older person who can’t run, cannot barely walk, is not able to go outside or lives in an older house where the windows do not open. Grief is very differnt for kids, for young adults and for older citizens

[@KaliMaaaaa]

I don't know your financial situation but getting a "vibrational plate" is a miracle for older people or anyone. Good ones are slightly heavy but there is a brand that has "wheels" and a handle. If you are not strong enough to stand on one to begin with, you can place it on a chair and sit on it and it works all your muscles, it also helps to reset your autonomic nervous system and with PTSD. Lifepro is a good brand that costs about 150 usd or so delivered to your door via amazon, but this is in America, I'm not sure how it is in the UK.

My coping mechanism is trying to find any kind positive point to the loss. For example, if someone was suffering a lot from a incurable medical issue, atleast they're no longer in pain. Or try using respectful humour to put something positive in my and others thoughts. Also, talking about something positive the deceased left us with.

[@BUBBLESPOGO]

I believe what the Bible states in Ephesians 9:5 "The dead are concious of nothing at all." Yes, all their worries, concerns and passions are gone. They do not exist anymore. That is the root of Grief. However, the Bible promises a hope for the dead. Jesus showed how he while on earth has been given authority to resurrect the dead back to life (see John Chapter 11). As King of "God's Kingdom Government now ruling in the heavens," Jesus will remove sin and death forever. This government will also be the means by which "all those in the memorial tombs (that is in God's memory), will come out and be restored to life again on earth under paradise conditions (Revelations 21:304). They will be given a chance to learn about God and make an informed decision whether they want to be part of God's Kingdom Government or not (Psalms 37:10-11, 29).
