"Grief is the normal process of reacting to the loss. Grief reactions may be felt in response to physical losses (for example, a death) or in response to symbolic or social losses (for example, divorce or loss of a job). Each type of loss means the person has had something taken away. As a family goes through a cancer illness, many losses are experienced, and each triggers its own grief reaction. Grief may be experienced as a mental, physical, social, or emotional reaction. Mental reactions can include anger, guilt, anxiety, sadness, and despair. Physical reactions can include sleeping problems, changes in appetite, physical problems, or illness. Social reactions can include feelings about taking care of others in the family, seeing family or friends, or returning to work. As with bereavement, grief processes depend on the relationship with the person who died, the situation surrounding the death, and the person’s attachment to the person who died. Grief may be described as the presence of physical problems, constant thoughts of the person who died, guilt, hostility, and a change in the way one normally acts.
Bereavement is the period after a loss during which grief is experienced and mourning occurs. The time spent in a period of bereavement depends on how attached the person was to the person who died, and how much time was spent anticipating the loss.
Mourning is the process by which people adapt to a loss. Mourning is also influenced by cultural customs, rituals, and society’s rules for coping with loss."
"Being aware of your feelings and their natural flow has several advantages. Your feelings both warn you and assure you. They act as indicators of how you are at the moment or over a stretch of time. Feelings can gauge of your sense of being fully alive.
Feelings can be locked inside and consequently, keep an experience very much alive. If this is a painfilled emotion, the weight of it can drag you down year after year. To prevent being diminished in any way, it is important that we recognize that the feeling exists, understand why it is there, talk about it with someone that is trustworthy, let go of it, and move on.
Your feelings reflect the way you perceive the world around you, as well as yourself. Without awareness of your feelings, we have no real awareness of life itself. You may be afraid to express your honest feelings out of fear or rejections, ridicule, or loss of control of your feelings. The negative feelings, such as anger, depression or loneliness, are often buried deep inside. But these feelings are buried alive and in time will surface. Unfortunately, they may appear when you least expect them and you may misdirect them. It is essential that you express your honest feelings. Feelings can keep people apart or bring them together; they can build walls or build bridges. What is important is that they are shared with a significant someone in your life. The expression of feelings will not always change a situation, but it may change the understanding and attitude regarding the situation."
