‘Bereavement’ at Psychology, Philosophy and Real Life, Page 2

I know what I am talking about is almost too personal to be articulated properly and also something that everyone either has or will have gone through at some time in their lives.

Death makes people uncomfortable. People will do anything to keep their equilibrium, their own personal illusion that they are not going to die, and no one wants to be the one to upset the person who is starting to get their life back together. So what can people do? From my position on the frontline I would say — acknowledge it. Acknowledge it, please.

Our popular blog contributor Sarah Luczaj is taking a few weeks away from writing following a bereavement. Our thoughts and hearts are with her and her family, and we wish her all the best.

‘If you never feel sad, it is because you have never become attached to someone, and that is a very lonely way to be.’
