The shock and grief that occur in death's aftermath are some of the most difficult things to deal with for those who are left behind.

Losing a spouse is one of life’s most traumatic experiences. Here are some important points to remember when it comes to the grieving process:

• Allow Yourself To Mourn: Although it is difficult, if you don’t acknowledge your feelings, your grief will only become compounded down the road. Give yourself permission to mourn.
• You Will Experience A Range Of Emotions: You may have mixed emotions after the death of your spouse, including shock, numbness, anger, and pain. Know that you are not alone and that this process is completely normal.
• You Will Overcome Your Grief With Effort: The pain of death doesn’t stop hurting over time, but you can work at your own pace and put forth the effort to overcome it.
• Say Goodbye In Your Own Way & On Your Own Time: It is important to live in the present. Memories are precious, but you should try not to use them as a means for denying reality. At some point on your grieving journey, you will be ready to say goodbye.
