Death is the destination to which our lives are forever more taking us. Death, the harbinger of grief and sadness, the omnipresent element in our lives that literally rock our lives (not in a good way), turn it upside down and there, keeps us hanging. The death of near and dear loved one always affects us in ways more than one. Varied persons do varied reactions invoke, some people rise to the challenge, some fall down the depths of depression and sorrow. However, the latter action is, of course, not advocated, rather to be prevented. Death is not a reason to stop our lives altogether, rather it should be absorbed from the angle that death makes your world lose touch with the world of the person you lost; so in a sense, you have a whole new world, bereft of that person, to explore.
The first step to take in the case of your losing a loved one is top find support. Even the most independent person is always dependent on someone or something in his or her life. There is no loss of pride in taking support in this case, rather seeking the aid and love of other people possesses a high quotient of necessity. Your family member and friends will always be there for you, you just have to be open-eyed enough to see that. Consult your family, drown yourself in their love and affection, that the void left by the loss may be filled up. One could always, like many actually do, the workaholics for instance, engross yourself in your job or work. This takes the episode of death out of your mind, allows your mind and body to rejuvenate in itself and ultimately leaves you unharmed. Nevertheless, this is not advocated strictly as employees may suffer from reduced efficiency at work. You could also take the help of support groups who tend to the needs of those in grief, not just out of death but out of other causes too. Don’t neglect yourself just because you have lost someone. That respective person has already moved on, no reason for you to stop your life over that. There is no point as that will not bring the person back. If at all nothing helps, one should seek professional help to overcome this period, for depression is not the desired end result for anyone. A thousand people are born and die every day, but still this world goes on, so should you.
