When grief goes unacknowledged, individuals can endure similar negative emotions as those who openly grieve, but without the support or recognition of their loss from others. This can leave them feeling isolated as they struggle to manage their emotions alone. The pressure to conceal their grief can cause them to internalize these negative feelings, potentially leading to more harmful impacts on their mental health.

I help people heal from abuse, identity crises, and mental health difficulties so they can live a resilient and fulfilling life || Certified Psychotherapist || Public Speaker
7 steps to find healing during grief and loss Last week was a hectic one for me as a therapist as I worked on cases of loss and grief which I've not worked on in a while As humans, we can grieve over anything (yeah, I said so) From the loss of a loved one to the loss of a job, a relationship, or a significant life change The journey through grief is real and can feel overwhelming Grief is a natural response to loss... It is an emotional response, an acknowledgment of whatever is gone and may never be recovered In all these struggles, there are strategies and coping mechanisms that can help you navigate this difficult time which will lead to your healing ✅ The first thing you need to do is acknowledge your feelings - Allow yourself to feel whatever emotions arise without judgment - Grief can manifest in many ways, such as sadness, anger, guilt, or even denial ✅ The next step is to take care of yourself! - Eat nutritious meals, exercise regularly, and get plenty of rest - Engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation, whether it's reading, listening to music, or spending time in nature ✅You have to find healthy outlets for expressing your emotions, such as journaling, art, or music - This will help you process grief as an emotion and also lead you to find meaning in your experience ✅ Do not hesitate to reach out to friends, family, or a support group for comfort and companionship - It will provide you solace and comfort during this period ✅ Allow others to help you in practical ways, such as running errands, preparing meals, or taking care of household tasks - It is a good antidote to fight loneliness and helplessness particularly if you are grieving the loss of a loved one ✅ Healing is a process not a sprint! - Allow yourself the space and grace to move through the process at your own pace, and do not rush yourself to "get over" your loss ✅ While it is important to honor your grief, it's also essential to celebrate life and find moments of joy amidst the pain - Treasure the memories you shared with your loved one and find ways to keep their spirit alive in your heart Remember, grief is a natural and necessary process, and there's no timetable for healing... I am Bosede Oyelakin, your Mental Health Therapist and Counsellor I am open to offering training to organizations, speaking engagements, and collaborations on mental health and wellness, child and adolescent development, and self-development Save this post and share it with all your friends and loved ones... Happy New Week🤗

Day three of the PSS mental health in ports campaign will be looking at bereavement. The impact of bereavement on work life can be significant. Grieving individuals may find it challenging to focus on their tasks, meet deadlines, and interact with colleagues. Productivity may decrease, and absenteeism may increase as individuals take time off to cope with their loss. The emotional toll of bereavement can also affect job performance and satisfaction. #PortSkills #SafetyFirst #MentalHealthMatters #MaritimeCommunity #WellnessAtWork #SafetyCulture UK Major Ports Group British Ports Association

Communications Consultant 📣 Mum 💛 Lived Experience Speaker on Loss by Suicide 🫶 Mental Health Champion 💪 Author of Daddy Blackbird, launching 10th October 📚
Directly after my husband’s suicide one of the most distressing daily duties I faced was the bedtime story. This was a previously joyful moment that had once been one of Steve’s favourites. Ada was just two at the time, and routine was everything. Straight after bath time, I’d choke my way through Little Bear or Farmer Fred, barely managing to speak. It was lucky I knew the words because I couldn’t see the pages through the tears. Oddly, I didn’t fully realise the damaging impact this moment was having on me, and I carried on struggling through it for months. I ‘just got on with it’. I told my therapist how my already low mood plummeted in the evenings, leading to unhelpful habits like drinking lots of wine. And we agreed that I couldn’t sustain this destructive behaviour, my children needed me. So she introduced me to a life-changing solution. The fancy name is Behavioural Chain Analysis. Simply put, it’s a nifty tool that helps you break down a sequence of actions and their resulting consequences, allowing you to work out what leads you to a particular behaviour. After switching up our routine, buying some fresh new books and getting others involved in the story reading ritual, I found that I was better able to reverse the damaging habits that had set in. I realised: 💛 We don’t have to ‘just get on with’ things that are causing us harm or grief 💛 No matter how awful things are, we can change them for the better by speaking up and getting help to work out how 💛 Small tweaks to the way we do things can have a significant impact on our wellbeing 💛 Even after a trauma like bereavement, there are things we can do to empower ourselves, learn and grow 💛 It is ALWAYS worth taking the time to invest in our own mental health ***** If you need a safe space to talk, please don’t suffer in silence. 116 123 is the number for Samaritans. It’s a good place to share your thoughts 💚 ***** #MentalHealth #Kindness #Care #Wellbeing #SuicidePrevention #SuicideAwareness #SuicideSucks #Grief #Compassion #SelfCare ***************************** My book, ‘Daddy Blackbird’ will include many more stories and experiences like this (when I finally get around to finishing it). I’m hopeful that will be by the end of 2024!

🌌 Exploring Psychedelics in Bereavement Care Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy (PAP) might hold benefits for individuals experiencing grief, offering transformative potential when handled with care, Ryan Moss, Chief Science Officer at Filament Health Corp, emphasized. ⚖️ Further Exploration Needed: Despite some promising research showcasing the positive impact of psychedelics in grief, Moss stresses the importance of more clinical investigations to fully comprehend their role in prolonged grief and mental health conditions. 💡 The Road Ahead: Research findings indicate potential in utilizing psychedelics to address grief symptoms, emphasizing the need for therapist-led, coordinated administration. Such a scenario may pave the way for a future where health providers could recommend PAP sessions as part of grief support. #PsychedelicTherapy #GriefSupport 🌸✨ https://lnkd.in/etMZxXHR
