"There is no easy way to overcome grief, as everyone grieves differently and in their own way and own time. So, expecting someone to just get over it and get on with their lives is unrealistic and only adds pressure to the emotional turmoil they are already experiencing," she said.

She also shared tips on how one can cope with a loved one’s suffering in their final days. Paula Quinsee shared that instead of trying to fix the suffering, one can focus on small, meaningful acts of care.

"Watching someone you love suffering can bring about feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. One practical way to cope with a situation like this is by focusing on small acts of care that are within your control, such as holding their hand, playing their favourite music, watching a movie together, or simply sitting quietly by their side. These acts are not about fixing suffering, but about easing aloneness," she explained.

Went through the same kinda situation last year when my wife lost all her mobility, only to realise she'd suffered clot-induced multiple strokes. Went on to lose her later- the feeling is inexplicable. Sorry for your loss and MHSRIP🙏”
