Grief
It argued that an industry of grief experts had emerged in recent years to help people with their grief and this was unnecessary. What are your thoughts about that?
I think an industry of experts to help people with their grief is necessary because the pain after the loss makes one withdraw from friends and relatives and support from grief experts helps to heal from the loss. Sharing after the loss makes the situation easy to handle and many people feel comfortable to talk with grief experts who are able to handle them. There is a great comfort when a grieved person has people around who care in order to avoid isolated life (Bass, Linsk & Christopher, 2007).
Is there a need for grief counselors?
There is the need for grief counselors because those people who are grieved are given an opportunity to express their emotions, their thought about the loss which includes being anxious, feeling sad, loneliness as well as confused. Grief counselors help in the process of finding a solution in order for the grieved to go back to normal life. The grieved person through the help of counselors is able to reestablish life, do productive work, choose a new direction that is positive and knows how to respond to people who ask about the situation they have been going through. Grief counselor helps people to accept what they felt after the loss, eat well and take care of their health and celebrated the good time they had when the deceased person was alive. The thought process of the grieved person changes through the help of grief counselors on how to respond to difficult situations where recovery goals are set and making of future plans after the loss (Suzanne & Carlberg, 2010).
How can society do a better job in the future to help the bereaved?
The society should available in order to comfort and support the grieved through listening and talking to them. Listen to them carefully when they express their feelings and empathize with them as you reassure them that all will be well. Help them throughout the recovery period to do their daily activities for example cooking, driving, and housework. When the grieving person engages in drug abuse to cope with the loss, does not take care of personal hygiene or thinks about suicide, help them to seek the professional help of the counselors and do not allow them to be alone (Haine, Sharlene & Wolchik, 2007).
