When a person has a grief, he can withdraw into himself and no longer get out of this state. Do not leave grieving loved ones, try to help them, but get ready for a long struggle with their sadness and depression.
Instructions
Step 1
Do not leave a friend in grief alone, you can negotiate with people close to him so that someone is always with him. Now all things and events will remind a person of the loss. It also causes physical distress, loss of appetite, exhaustion, fever and muscle weakness. This state can be replaced by violence and suicide attempts.
Step 2
Words of comfort to a person in such an acute condition will not help. He will not hear them and will not understand them. Distract him with tactile contact, just as you comfort crying children. Hug the grieving person, touch his shoulder. Now it is simply necessary to evoke tears and strong feelings in order to distract a person from the contemplation of emptiness in his soul.
Step 3
When he explodes into violent sobs, it means that his experiences have passed into a new phase, where it will be easier for you to reach him. Earlier, special people called mourners called tears.
Step 4
A grieving person may begin to blame someone for their loss, or anger may overwhelm them. Do not try to argue in this case, help these emotions pour out without a trace. This will reduce the likelihood of discharging rage on loved ones. If a person closes the negative within himself, this can cause severe depression.
Step 5
At this time, you can allow a person to go to work if he wants and there is such a need. But the work regime should be sparing, because a person who is physically weakened by grief is still weak. Call him for a walk in the park, contemplative events will do: exhibitions of paintings, viewing the exposition in the museum. You can combine walks and communication with nature, a hike with an overnight stay and making a fire will distract the grieving person. Perhaps, looking at the starry sky, he will start thinking about the future.
Step 6
Slowly begin to involve the person you are taking care of in any activity. Let him know that he is an ordinary person. Say that he is too busy nurturing his condition and does not see the experiences of other people, and they need his help. Offer to go to a friend's or family's place and help them with something.
Step 7
It is now that one can delicately hint that one should not abandon his professional activity, because no one will feed him all his life. Help the person overcome their fear of appearing in public after a long period of grief, if possible, visit him at work several times. Visit friends and plan a weekend getaway.
