Souvent, les gens veulent sinc\u00e8rement aider quelqu\u2019un en deuil, mais le manque de connaissances sur le processus et l\u2019incertitude sur la mani\u00e8re de communiquer efficacement peuvent les emp\u00eacher d\u2019offrir leur soutien. Cette semaine, obtenons de pr\u00e9cieux conseils d'experts sur la fa\u00e7on d'aider une personne en deuil.<\/p>\n

Jessica Eiseman, conseill\u00e8re certifi\u00e9e et propri\u00e9taire\/directrice clinique d'Ajana Therapy and Clinical Services \u00e0 Houston, au Texas, d\u00e9finit le deuil comme une montagne russe d'\u00e9motions v\u00e9cues par quelqu'un apr\u00e8s avoir perdu quelque chose ou quelqu'un d'important.<\/p>\n

Selon Eiseman, il s\u2019agit d\u2019une exp\u00e9rience tout \u00e0 fait normale qui fait passer une personne \u00e0 travers des \u00e9tapes de d\u00e9ni, de col\u00e8re, de marchandage, de d\u00e9pression et d\u2019acceptation.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Le deuil est extr\u00eamement personnel, et personne ne devrait d\u00e9terminer ce qui est \u00ab digne de faire du deuil \u00bb pour autrui. Il existe \u00e9galement de nombreuses couches sous-jacentes au deuil. Il est \u00e9galement important de noter que le deuil n\u2019est pas un processus lin\u00e9aire. Nous pouvons y penser comme des vagues qui vont et viennent. Il n'y a pas deux personnes qui pleureront de la m\u00eame mani\u00e8re, et le calendrier de gu\u00e9rison de chaque personne sera diff\u00e9rent \u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Eiseman.

Facteurs qui influencent le deuil<\/strong><\/p>\n

La r\u00e9action d'une personne \u00e0 la mort d'un individu peut \u00eatre affect\u00e9e par de nombreux facteurs. facteurs<\/a>, y compris l'\u00e2ge de la personne en deuil, la relation avec la personne d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9e, la cause du d\u00e9c\u00e8s, les ant\u00e9c\u00e9dents culturels et les syst\u00e8mes de croyance. La situation financi\u00e8re, la sant\u00e9 et l'\u00e9tendue du soutien de la famille, des amis et de la communaut\u00e9 d'un individu peuvent \u00e9galement influer sur la r\u00e9ponse.<\/p>\n

En quoi le deuil est-il diff\u00e9rent de la d\u00e9pression ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Selon Jessica Rabon, psychologue agr\u00e9\u00e9e de Caroline du Sud, le chagrin et d\u00e9pression<\/a> peut \u00eatre difficile \u00e0 diff\u00e9rencier en raison de certains sympt\u00f4mes qui se chevauchent tels qu'une tristesse extr\u00eame, des difficult\u00e9s de sommeil, une perte d'app\u00e9tit et une irritabilit\u00e9 ou une col\u00e8re.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Le deuil est la r\u00e9action \u00e9motionnelle que l\u2019on \u00e9prouve apr\u00e8s une perte importante. Bien que la d\u00e9pression puisse \u00e9galement r\u00e9sulter d\u2019une perte, elle est le plus souvent conceptualis\u00e9e comme r\u00e9sultant d\u2019une combinaison de facteurs biologiques, psychologiques et sociaux. Avec le deuil, la douleur \u00e9motionnelle ressentie entoure g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement le d\u00e9sir de perdre, la pr\u00e9occupation face \u00e0 la perte, l'\u00e9vitement des rappels de la perte et potentiellement un engourdissement \u00e9motionnel \u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Rabon. Quotidien m\u00e9dical<\/em>.<\/p>\n

M\u00eame si les sympt\u00f4mes ext\u00e9rieurs peuvent se ressembler, la cause sous-jacente sera diff\u00e9rente.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Le deuil diminue g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement avec le temps ou appara\u00eet par vagues, par exemple lorsque la personne en deuil est confront\u00e9e \u00e0 des rappels de la perte ; cependant, la d\u00e9pression a tendance \u00e0 \u00eatre plus r\u00e9pandue et constante au fil du temps \u00bb, a ajout\u00e9 Rabon.<\/p>\n

Une fa\u00e7on de distinguer le chagrin de la d\u00e9pression est que le chagrin est li\u00e9 \u00e0 une cause sp\u00e9cifique et s'att\u00e9nue g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement avec le temps, tandis que la d\u00e9pression a tendance \u00e0 persister sans raison claire, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Eiseman.<\/p>\n

\u00ab La d\u00e9pression provoque souvent une l\u00e9thargie \u00e9motionnelle soutenue, des difficult\u00e9s de concentration, des perturbations des habitudes de sommeil et de l\u2019app\u00e9tit, ainsi qu\u2019un d\u00e9sint\u00e9r\u00eat g\u00e9n\u00e9ralis\u00e9 pour les activit\u00e9s qu\u2019une personne appr\u00e9ciait auparavant. Lorsqu\u2019elle est grave, des pens\u00e9es suicidaires peuvent l\u2019accompagner. Contrairement au deuil, la d\u00e9pression n\u2019a pas toujours une cause sp\u00e9cifique et identifiable, contrairement \u00e0 la nature plus clairement d\u00e9finie du deuil. La d\u00e9pression n\u2019est pas seulement un cas de blues. Il s'agit d'une humeur maussade plus prolong\u00e9e et plus intense qui peut avoir un impact sur la qualit\u00e9 de vie d'une personne \u00bb, a-t-elle expliqu\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Comment soutenir une personne en deuil<\/strong><\/p>\n

Il est important de noter que le deuil est une exp\u00e9rience tr\u00e8s personnelle. Ce qu\u2019une personne veut entendre ou ne pas entendre pendant son deuil peut \u00eatre individualis\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\u00abLorsque vous vous pr\u00e9sentez pour quelqu'un en deuil, il est normal de ne pas avoir les mots et de lui exprimer cela, parfois \u00eatre pr\u00e9sent est plus b\u00e9n\u00e9fique que de parler. Quant aux sujets \u00e0 ne pas aborder, c'est encore une fois tr\u00e8s individualis\u00e9 ; cependant, il y a souvent des choses \u00ab \u00e0 ne pas dire \u00bb aux personnes en deuil, comme \u00ab Je sais exactement ce que vous vivez \u00bb, \u00ab Soyez simplement forts \u00bb ou \u00ab Ils sont dans un meilleur endroit \u00bb. Bien que toutes ces choses soient dites avec de bonnes intentions, elles peuvent invalider la personne en deuil ou minimiser les \u00e9motions accablantes qu\u2019elle \u00e9prouve \u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Rabon.<\/p>\n

M\u00eame si vous ne savez pas comment parler, \u00eatre l\u00e0 pour la personne en deuil peut parfois suffire. Reconna\u00eetre la perte d'une personne et avoir une conversation avec elle sans laisser de c\u00f4t\u00e9 ses \u00e9motions devrait \u00eatre la cl\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Lorsque les gens sont en deuil, ils ont tendance \u00e0 se retirer et \u00e0 s'isoler. Il peut donc \u00eatre utile d'inviter votre proche \u00e0 des activit\u00e9s qui lui plairont, en sachant qu'il ne viendra peut-\u00eatre pas. Une autre fa\u00e7on de soutenir la personne peut \u00eatre de l\u2019aider \u00e0 accomplir des t\u00e2ches concr\u00e8tes. Lorsque les individus sont en deuil, les efforts et l\u2019\u00e9nergie consacr\u00e9s \u00e0 des t\u00e2ches telles que cuisiner, nettoyer ou faire les courses diminuent souvent. Il peut donc \u00eatre utile de leur proposer de faire quelque chose de tangible pour eux. De plus, inviter la personne \u00e0 parler de la perte, \u00e0 partager des histoires et m\u00eame \u00e0 partager vos propres souvenirs (en supposant que le chagrin concerne la perte d'un \u00eatre cher) peut \u00eatre utile \u00bb, a expliqu\u00e9 Rabon.<\/p>\n

Si une personne en deuil a besoin d\u2019un soutien suppl\u00e9mentaire, obtenir l\u2019aide d\u2019un professionnel par le biais d\u2019une psychoth\u00e9rapie et de groupes de soutien au deuil peut \u00eatre b\u00e9n\u00e9fique. Dans certains cas, lorsque les sympt\u00f4mes de deuil perturbent le fonctionnement normal d'une personne, les professionnels de la sant\u00e9 peuvent prescrire des antid\u00e9presseurs.<\/p>\n

Si vous ou quelqu\u2019un que vous connaissez \u00eates en difficult\u00e9 ou en crise, de l\u2019aide est disponible. Appelez ou envoyez un SMS au 988 ou discutez <\/em>sur 988lifeline.org<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

This week, let's get some valuable insights from experts on how to help someone who is grieving.Jessica Eiseman, a certified counselor and owner\/clinical director of Ajana Therapy and Clinical Services in Houston, Texas, defines grief as a rollercoaster of emotions experienced by someone after losing something or someone important.According to Eiseman, it is a completely normal experience that takes a person through stages of denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance."Grieving is intensely personal, and no one should determine what is 'grief-worthy' for another. There are also many underlying layers of grief. It is also important to note that grief is not a linear process. We can think of it as waves that come and go. No two people will grieve the same way, and each person's timetable for healing will differ," Eiseman told Medical Daily. Factors that influence grievingA person's response to an individual's death may be affected by many factors, including the age of the person grieving, relationship with the person who has died, cause of death, cultural background and belief systems. An individual's financial situation, health, and extent of support from family, friends and community can also affect the response.How is grief different from depression?According to Jessica Rabon, a licensed psychologist from South Carolina, grief and depression may be difficult to differentiate because of certain overlapping symptoms such as extreme sadness, sleep difficulties, loss of appetite and irritability or anger."Grief is the emotional response one experiences after a significant loss. Although depression may also arise from a loss, depression most often is conceptualized as arising from a combination of biological, psychological and social factors. With grief, the emotional pain experienced typically surrounds yearning for the loss, preoccupation with the loss, avoidance of reminders of the loss, and potentially emotional numbness," Rabon told Medical Daily.Although outward symptoms might look alike, the underlying cause will be different."Grief generally decreases with time or comes in waves, such as when the grieving person is faced with reminders of the loss; however, depression tends to be more pervasive and consistent over time," Rabon added.One way to distinguish between grief and depression is that grief is linked to a specific cause and typically lessens over time, while depression tends to linger without a clear reason, Eiseman said."Depression often causes sustained emotional lethargy, difficulty concentrating, disruptions in sleep and appetite patterns, and a pervasive disinterest in activities someone used to enjoy. When it is severe, suicidal thoughts can accompany it. Unlike grief, depression does not always have a specific, identifiable cause, compared to the more clearly defined nature of grief. Depression is not just a case of the blues. It's a more prolonged and intense low mood that can impact a person's quality of life," she explained.How to support a grieving personIt's important to note that grieving is a highly personal experience. What a person wants to hear or not hear while grieving may be individualized."When you are showing up for someone who is grieving, it is okay not to have the words and express that to them, sometimes being present is more beneficial than talking. As for topics not to talk about, once again that is highly individualized; however, there are often things 'not to say' to individuals who are grieving such as 'I know exactly what you are going through,' 'Just be strong,' or 'They're in a better place.' Although all these things are said with good intentions, they can be invalidating to the person who is grieving or minimize the overwhelming emotions they are experiencing," Rabon said.Even if you are unsure how to talk, sometimes being there for the grieving person might be enough. Acknowledging a person's loss and having a conversation with them without putting down their emotions should be the key."When people grieve, they tend to withdraw and isolate, thus, it can be helpful to invite your loved one to activities that they will enjoy, understanding they may not come. Another way to support the person may be to help with tangible tasks. When individuals grieve, effort and energy to tasks such as cooking, cleaning or running errands often declines, thus offering to do something tangible for them can be helpful. Further, inviting the person to talk about the loss, sharing stories and even sharing memories of your own (assuming the grief is around the loss of a loved one) can be helpful," Rabon explained.If someone who goes through grief needs additional support, getting professional help through psychotherapy and grief support groups can be beneficial. In some cases, when symptoms of grief disrupt a person's normal functioning, health professionals may prescribe antidepressants.If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available.

Urban Care Clinic","og_description":"National Grief Awareness Week is observed from Dec.2 to Dec.8 to raise awareness and support those going through personal losses.Many times, people genuinely want to help someone in grief, but a lack of knowledge about the process and uncertainty on how to communicate effectively can hold them back from offering support. This week, let's get some valuable insights from experts on how to help someone who is grieving.Jessica Eiseman, a certified counselor and owner\/clinical director of Ajana Therapy and Clinical Services in Houston, Texas, defines grief as a rollercoaster of emotions experienced by someone after losing something or someone important.According to Eiseman, it is a completely normal experience that takes a person through stages of denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.\"Grieving is intensely personal, and no one should determine what is 'grief-worthy' for another. There are also many underlying layers of grief. It is also important to note that grief is not a linear process. We can think of it as waves that come and go. No two people will grieve the same way, and each person's timetable for healing will differ,\" Eiseman told Medical Daily. Factors that influence grievingA person's response to an individual's death may be affected by many factors, including the age of the person grieving, relationship with the person who has died, cause of death, cultural background and belief systems. An individual's financial situation, health, and extent of support from family, friends and community can also affect the response.How is grief different from depression?According to Jessica Rabon, a licensed psychologist from South Carolina, grief and depression may be difficult to differentiate because of certain overlapping symptoms such as extreme sadness, sleep difficulties, loss of appetite and irritability or anger.\"Grief is the emotional response one experiences after a significant loss. Although depression may also arise from a loss, depression most often is conceptualized as arising from a combination of biological, psychological and social factors. With grief, the emotional pain experienced typically surrounds yearning for the loss, preoccupation with the loss, avoidance of reminders of the loss, and potentially emotional numbness,\" Rabon told Medical Daily.Although outward symptoms might look alike, the underlying cause will be different.\"Grief generally decreases with time or comes in waves, such as when the grieving person is faced with reminders of the loss; however, depression tends to be more pervasive and consistent over time,\" Rabon added.One way to distinguish between grief and depression is that grief is linked to a specific cause and typically lessens over time, while depression tends to linger without a clear reason, Eiseman said.\"Depression often causes sustained emotional lethargy, difficulty concentrating, disruptions in sleep and appetite patterns, and a pervasive disinterest in activities someone used to enjoy. When it is severe, suicidal thoughts can accompany it. Unlike grief, depression does not always have a specific, identifiable cause, compared to the more clearly defined nature of grief. Depression is not just a case of the blues. It's a more prolonged and intense low mood that can impact a person's quality of life,\" she explained.How to support a grieving personIt's important to note that grieving is a highly personal experience. What a person wants to hear or not hear while grieving may be individualized.\"When you are showing up for someone who is grieving, it is okay not to have the words and express that to them, sometimes being present is more beneficial than talking. As for topics not to talk about, once again that is highly individualized; however, there are often things 'not to say' to individuals who are grieving such as 'I know exactly what you are going through,' 'Just be strong,' or 'They're in a better place.' Although all these things are said with good intentions, they can be invalidating to the person who is grieving or minimize the overwhelming emotions they are experiencing,\" Rabon said.Even if you are unsure how to talk, sometimes being there for the grieving person might be enough. Acknowledging a person's loss and having a conversation with them without putting down their emotions should be the key.\"When people grieve, they tend to withdraw and isolate, thus, it can be helpful to invite your loved one to activities that they will enjoy, understanding they may not come. Another way to support the person may be to help with tangible tasks. When individuals grieve, effort and energy to tasks such as cooking, cleaning or running errands often declines, thus offering to do something tangible for them can be helpful. Further, inviting the person to talk about the loss, sharing stories and even sharing memories of your own (assuming the grief is around the loss of a loved one) can be helpful,\" Rabon explained.If someone who goes through grief needs additional support, getting professional help through psychotherapy and grief support groups can be beneficial. In some cases, when symptoms of grief disrupt a person's normal functioning, health professionals may prescribe antidepressants.If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available.
