During the time of the pandemic, my subject
"Psycho-social Trauma" and the reading of some articles in which the
subject of mourning is addressed has been very interesting and useful. But I am
referring to this unusual duel in which the affections are struck even more
violently by forced and distant farewells.
The process of living
a mourning is as normal as crying when you hurt yourself, sleeping when you are
tired and it is the natural way of expressing when we have our broken heart
hurt by sadness. In these moments of pandemic for some it is sad to know that
they will not be able to see that person you love, that they will not be able
to say goodbye or tell them in person how much they wanted it, it is as if
there is a void at the end of life.
When people can build
a ritual or just say goodbye, the grieving process becomes more adaptive; It
does not mean that there is no pain, but that it is possible to resignify them
and continue living with it. It is important to understand that grief as a
process has a continuity. It will go through deep sadness, emotional
disconnection for the first few weeks and emotions such as anger, fear may be
present. Some sensation of decay, lack of energy, crying, difficulty sleeping,
tightness in the chest or throat among others could be physical sensations
could also be present.
Today the stress of
not being able to visit and take the hand of that person you know is suffering;
not being able to know his death situation and above all not delivering a
ritual and farewell are the difficulties that arise in this current scenario,
situations that could deepen the feelings described above.
The process of
closing all mourning is essential for an optimal elaboration since it can resignify
the departure of that person with a relief component, of purpose that will make
the process of loss more bearable.
For the mourning
process, accompaniment is important, knowing that there is another who listens
to us and contains us and today there are various groups that can help us in
this regard, to visualize their personal resources to better deal with mourning
and the emotions that arise with the loss.
This resource that
today is very accessible will be of great help, perhaps not at the present time,
but when this has happened, since that is when we will really be facing grief,
when it is not important to anyone, but will only be for who will be dealing
with their pain and suffering.
