Psychologist talks about dealing with grief
Speaking exclusively to Briefly News journalist Privie Kandi, relationship expert and psychologist Paula Quinsee said people should understand the differences between healthy grief and prolonged/complicated grief. She said:
"Healthy grieving involves experiencing natural emotions after a loss, such as sadness, anger, confusion, and sometimes even moments of happiness. Our emotions fluctuate over time as individuals begin to adjust to their new reality and gradually move forward in life.
"Prolonged or complicated grief is when our grief becomes all-consuming and interferes with our daily functioning over a prolonged period. Sometimes, where there is intense guilt, self-blame, or avoidance of any reminder or memories of the person, it can indicate the person is experiencing complicated grief. Professional support is recommended in such cases to help the individual process their emotions and rebuild their life moving forward."
