Speaking to Briefly News on how to deal with the loss of a loved one, grief counsellor Michele Naude emphasised that emotional support and human connection are essential when someone is grieving.
She explained that when people who have experienced loss don’t receive care, understanding, and emotional support, their grief can become more intense, prolonged, and harder to process. This lack of support may lead to complicated grief, where healing is delayed and emotional pain deepens instead of easing over time.
“Support and emotional connections are integral to the healing of loss, the absence of which could result in complicated grief. Funding a scholarship or charity that in turn helps others,” Naude said.
On the other handm Paula Quinsee shared how one can channel the overwhelming loss into honouring a loved one. She suggested starting an annual tradition in their honour and Funding a scholarship or charity that in turn helps others.
