How should the elderly adjust their psychology of bereavement?

1, the first stage of psychology: cognition

Many elderly people will be insensitive and stupefied after learning the news of their wives' death. This insensitivity does not mean emotional indifference, but the performance of emotional impact. It can be seen as a rejection of bad news and a uniform of strong emotions that you can't control. This stage may last for several hours to a week.

2. The second stage of psychology: guilt

Many old people will feel guilty and blame themselves after receiving the news of their wife's death. I always feel sorry for the dead, and even think that I am mainly responsible for each other's death. Guilt exists more or less in all mourners. As long as it is not too strong, this stage will eventually pass.

3. The third stage of psychology: nostalgia.

Old people who are in mourning will have a deep memory of the deceased after the strong sadness has subsided slightly. At this time, the wife's figure will appear in their minds repeatedly, and sometimes they will feel how lonely they are after losing him or her. This state may last for weeks or even years.

4. The fourth stage of psychology: recovery.

When mourners gradually realize that "birth, aging, illness and death are irresistible natural laws" and "the best sustenance and yearning for their wives is to take care of their health and live a better life", reason will overcome their feelings and their body and mind will gradually return to normal.

5. Losing the characteristics of a wife

5. 1, excessively sad type

Losing a loved one is a normal psychological reaction. And those who are too sad for a long time and can't extricate themselves as a stable state of mind for a month or two, or even longer, become unhealthy morbid psychology.

Psychologists suggest that the elderly should not be too sad after the death of their spouses, which will affect their physical and mental health and make the "awareness of the elderly" come faster. In order to get rid of sadness as soon as possible, we should actively adjust our lives.

5.2, nostalgic type

Widowed old people will make survivors feel strongly that death is approaching irresistibly. Some elderly people who lack a healthy outlook on life and death feel helpless, anxious and lack a good hope for survival. At this time, nostalgia for the past will become an important part of spiritual life.

When people can't see the hope of the future, they will approach quickly. Therefore, reminiscence and nostalgia for the past should never be an obstacle to your brave life.
