7 Ways for Dealing With an Untimely Death
5. Know that life goes on
You need to understand that death is a part of life and no matter how big your loss is, the world will keep on living just as it did before the tragedy. Time is a great healer and can help you get over such misfortunes. Be patient, focus on the pursuit of happiness, and try finding a reason to continue living.
6. Don’t let guilt set in
Many a time after an unexpected death, you tend to blame yourself for not doing enough to prevent the tragedy from happening. You must understand that whatever happened in the past cannot be changed and was meant to happen. There is nothing that you “could have done” to prevent death. If you start blaming yourself or others for what happened then it will add to the negativity and create further problems.
7. Seek strength not sympathy
Know that sympathy might give you momentary relief and make you feel better for a while but you will require immense strength to get over such a big disaster. As you share your grief with others, you do begin to enjoy the sympathy that you get from them. Taking pleasure in sympathy will not allow you to be a strong person and face life. Talk to those who inspire you to be strong.
