To survive the loss of a loved one can evoke emotions you may not have ever experienced. Especially because of the circumstances of death and the mourning you are going through.

Because these are not experienced in everyday life, they are felt in a much more powerful manner.

You may feel that feeling the intense emotions of anger, sadness or at worst - revenge are abnormal and may be long enduring and very strong - these are a normal part of the acute grief associated with the shock of unanticipated death.

How you grieve about this death depends on other life events you may have experienced and the level of stress these life lessons have placed on you. How have these other life events helped you cope with stress?

How strong and what was the quality of the relationship with the deceased like?
The circumstances of the death, your religious beliefs, your support system and emotional support you can rely on and receive from family and friends while grieving?

Reach out and get the support that is waiting for you through friends, loved one's, family and specialists - you are surrounded by many who care.

With nothing but strength and support to you at this time.
