When Should You Seek Help When Dealing with Grief?
Grieving is normal and doesn't always require therapy. But it's a good idea to consult a psychologist if, after some time, you notice that:
- The pain is so intense that it makes you prevents you from moving on with your life everyday.
- A a feeling of emptiness or hopelessness that isn't getting any better.
- You completely avoid anything that reminds you of that person, or, on the contrary, You can't think of anything else.
- Problems with sleep, appetite, or concentration.
- You're overwhelmed by the guilt or anger.
- You turn to the alcohol or other substances to relieve the pain.
Asking for help doesn't mean "forgetting," but rather learning to live with the loss in a way that's more bearable.
