Widows Quest

Inspiration to Move Through the Grief Cycle

by anna on April 5th, 2008

If you need inspiration to beat that feeling of depression then here is some recent research to help move you through the grief cycle. You all know that I believe we as widows or widowers need to go through the grief cycle but often it can be easy to become stuck..just not believing that you can cope with life on your own. This research shows how important it is that we keep moving through that grief cycle, working honestly with our feelings to move to a happier place.

“Strong feelings of grief are normal and healthy after the death of someone you love but recent research from UNSW suggests that some people grieve for so long that it becomes a significant mental illness.

Estimates are that between 10 and 15 per cent of bereaved people experience an intense, prolonged sadness arising from longing or yearning for the deceased - so much so that their overall health is impaired, they withdraw socially, become depressed and even suicidal.”

Do you believe that health is impaired through prolonged grief?
