Grief is the natural reaction to loss. It is both a universal and a personal experience. Individual experiences of grief vary and are influenced by the nature of the loss Like adults, children and teens may feel intense sadness and loss, or grief, when a person close to them dies. And like adults, children and teens express their grief in how they behave, what they think and say, and how they feel emotionally and physically. Each child grieves differently, and there is no right or wrong way or length of time to grieve.
Like so many healthcare professionals answering the call during this pandemic, Choctaw Behavioral Health is striving to help meet this needs in our Choctaw Tribal communities and beyond through a series podcasts on Grief and Bereavement. Grief has stricken us in a way that we could not have prepared for. Grief and Bereavement is challenging at any time, but during this pandemic when we have been challenged to isolate, it is even more difficult, but we want you to know “You Are Not Alone ." Social connections are still important It's well established that social support can be critical in helping move through grief, rather than getting stuck in it.
Many of us are grieving right now. We are grieving people we have lost, in many instances not having had the opportunity to say goodbye and most profoundly not being with them in their final moments. We are grieving not being able to have our in-person presence to support one another right now. We are grieving our rituals, our routines and what is familiar to us. Today's podcast will encourage the beginning of the healing process. The use of memories, rituals and routines will be highlighted as ways to honor and reflect on those earlier, better memories to remind ourselves of the full picture of the lives of our friends and loved ones and our connections.
