Dr. Laura: 我理解失去伴侣的痛苦,因为我经历过。那段时间我像卷曲的虫子一样蜷缩起来,这很正常。悲伤的过程是起伏不定的,你会感到迷茫和困惑,但最终你会积极地去结识新朋友,尝试新事物。要避免酗酒、暴食、吸毒和整日卧床不起,要照顾好自己。依靠朋友的支持非常重要,他们会陪伴你,帮助你度过难关。加入教会的悲伤小组也可以帮助你。与朋友倾诉,参加悲伤小组,可以帮助你处理悲伤的情绪。哭泣是正常的,要允许自己悲伤。即使伴侣有缺点,你依然爱她,并且给她带来了比以前更好的生活。悲伤需要时间,不要试图通过各种方法快速治愈,这会适得其反。悲伤是一个过程,而不是一个事件,会有起起伏伏,这是正常的。不要依赖那些告诉你快速治愈悲伤的录音带,悲伤需要时间。与逝去的伴侣交谈是正常的,需要时间来放下。失去亲人后问“这一切都是为了什么”是很愚蠢的,生活是有意义的。失去亲人后的悲伤是普遍的,每个人都会经历。悲伤需要时间,不要急于求成。失去伴侣后,你无法回到过去,但最终你会设计一个新的生活。 Drew: 失去妻子后,我制定了三个计划来帮助自己:1. 与朋友一起制定计划,即使不想去也要坚持;2. 尝试新事物,接受自己不喜欢某些事情的事实;3. 习惯独自一人,例如独自去餐厅、主题公园或电影院。 Catherine: 失去丈夫后,我感到迷茫和无助,不知道如何应对。 Yule: 失去妻子后,我感到悲伤、迷茫、愤怒和内疚。我卖掉了家里的所有东西,开始锻炼身体,吃健康的食物,还开始了一段新的恋情,但悲伤的情绪仍然时不时出现。 Gigi: 失去丈夫后,我经历了悲伤、绝望和无助,但最终我开始新的生活,搬到了离家人更近的地方,买了一套新房子,并开始装修。我仍然想念他,但我知道我需要为自己而活。

When major catastrophes happen in your life, you suffer. And when you suffer, you tend to just want to curl up like one of those little roly poly bugs. You want to curl up and hide under things.
