The traumatic loss of someone you love or something you value can leave you feeling hopeless. You may feel like your world is shattered. You may feel angry. You may be fearful. And you may be confused about which way to turn.
You Can Find Your Way After Traumatic Loss of Someone You Love With Help From Center For Trauma Counseling
A traumatic loss is painful. The more dependent you were to the person or thing you lost, the more you may grieve. And the more sudden and unexpected your traumatic loss, the more you may be unprepared to deal with the aftermath.
Five years after his wife – Natasha Richardson – died from a skiing accident, actor Liam Neeson said this on 60 Minutes. “It’s like a wave. You just get this profound feeling of instability. The earth isn’t stable anymore. And then it passes and it becomes more infrequent. But I still get it sometimes.”
Even your personal long-term care of a dying person can cause you deep grief after he or she dies.
Losing your child, parent, spouse, lover, friend or someone else you loved – whether by death or separation – can make you feel unworthy of living. Losing something you love and depend on – such as your home, business, job or source of income – can make you feel like your life is devastated. Even losing the fulfillment of your dream can make you feel heartbroken.
Appreciate All You Have In Your Life
This whole experience of traumatic loss leaves you in a state of despair. You may not know who to turn to for guidance on how to respond. This is especially true if those you know have not had a similar experience. You may not know how much time you will be in this crisis. You may perceive that this loss has threatened your own life. Your grieving may reopen unresolved losses that took place earlier in your life, including your childhood.
These are some of the reasons why you need help from a professional counselor. The sooner you get the help, the sooner you’ll be able to see a clear road ahead to live your life again.
