The coronavirus induced pandemic has had devastating effects across the world and in India. It has affected us all, with some of us losing near and dear ones with little warning. The sudden passing is crippling, especially since many of us are unable to be there, or unable to offer a proper farewell to the dear departed one. All these factors only add to the grief. With no answers to the whys and hows, your life might seem to have come to a jolting halt.
According to a study by the Center for Complicated Grief at the Columbia School of Social Work, “There are three key processes entailed in adapting to a loss: 1) accepting the reality, including the finality and consequences of the loss, 2) reconfiguring the internalised relationship with the deceased person to incorporate this reality, and 3) envisioning ways to move forward with a sense of purpose and meaning and possibilities for happiness. Most people move forward naturally in this way, and grief finds a place in their lives as they do.”
