Psychological recovery time after the death of a loved one

The length of time is different. Some people take three months, others one month, but they all need to go through the following periods to recover.

1, the first is the shock denial period: this is also a normal reaction when a disaster happens, and I don't want to admit that it happened to me. This is an instinctive primitive reaction. Try to deny, even feel that the world is not real.

2. Anger period: But we still have to return to reality, and we can't refuse this fact. So we enter an angry period. Anger may be directed at ourselves or others. For example, why don't you do something to keep the person you love alive. What did you do wrong to lose your loved ones? This makes me very angry.

3. Bargaining period: Later, it will be gradually discovered that these emotions are useless. On the one hand, it is emotionally difficult to accept the reality. This is a bargaining stage.

4. Depression: Finally, if you have to accept this cruel fact, you will feel psychologically frustrated. Will enter a period of depression.

5. Rebirth period: Life will continue, slowly rebuild your life, establish new relationships and embrace a new life.
