Understanding Bereavement Trauma
Bereavement trauma, often known as the shadow that follows in the aftermath of a loss, is a route that very few people choose to walk willingly. It is a journey that is characterized by overpowering grief, emotional upheaval, and significant changes in both one’s body and one’s mind. When you reach this turning point in your life, it is not expected of you to “get over” the person you’ve lost. In point of fact, achieving such a goal is not desirable. Grief is not an impediment that must be conquered; rather, it is an integral component of the human experience. In the wake of a devastating loss, it’s about mourning, grieving, and maybe even looking for meaning in the world.
When we go through traumatic experiences, our anxiety and feelings of being overwhelmed might grow, which can lead to emotional dysregulation. When we are emotionally aroused, our “fight or flight” mechanism is activated, which causes us to experience feelings of panic and terror as a result of the activation of our sympathetic nervous system. When we are overcome by this mechanism, we often become paralyzed by it, dissociating from it, closing down, and feeling as though there is no hope. If we don’t deal with our traumatic experiences, they can distort our fundamental selves and render us incapable of functioning normally. It’s possible that we could experience a wide range of feelings, some of which are depicted in the following diagram:
But then, what really is the objective? Learn to live alongside your loss, to incorporate it into your life in a way that enables you to find purpose and meaning beyond the shadow of mourning. This is what it means to learn to live alongside your loss. This is the crux of our journey; it is a voyage of discovery and transformation that will assist you in regaining your footing on the path that life has laid out for you.
