Give Yourself Emotional Support when Dealing with Death of a Parent

Are you struggling to cope with the death of a parent?

Are you not sure how you can find a positive way forward?

Many people are shocked by how overwhelming the experience of the death of a parent can be. It is one of the major milestones of life.

And you cannot escape the physical, emotional and practical demands of your new situation.

That 'end of the world' feeling

The experience we all share, of course, is that up until now our parent or parents have 'always been there'.

Even though we intellectually know that everyone will die one day, this knowledge is not enough to shake the inner conviction of permanence we build from our experience.

So when a parent dies, it can feel as if the very foundation of your world has crumbled.

An exhausting process

The process of grieving uses a great deal of energy, for example you need to:

• Cope with your feelings around their death
• Deal with the process of grieving
• Cope with the grief of others around you who may also have been affected
• Adjust to life without them practically and emotionally.

You need to gather all your resources to help yourself come through this time. And it can be very tiring.

No 'right way' to feel

Remember that, even if the death of your parent was expected, you will still be in a state of shock.

You may feel dissociated from what is happening around you, or as if you are operating on autopilot.

You may be overwhelmed by emotions, or feel quite blank.

All such reactions are normal. There is no 'right' way to feel in such circumstances. So whatever you feel, you can just accept that that is how you feel.

Grief is not something that 'happens' to you

But even though it feels as if grief is a tidal wave sweeping you helplessly away and there is nothing you can do about it, there actually is a way to ride this wave.

You see, grieving is something that you do. That is, it is a behavior, and like all behaviors, it can be done more or less skillfully.

In grieving, you gradually let go of the life that included the living presence of that parent, and adjust to the life where their presence has become a memory.

And there are a number of ways you can ease yourself through this necessary and inescapable task.
