Wiki ya Kitaifa ya Kutoa Ufahamu kuhusu Huzuni huadhimishwa kuanzia Desemba 2 hadi Desemba 8 ili kuongeza ufahamu na kusaidia wale wanaopitia hasara za kibinafsi.<\/p>\n

Mara nyingi, watu kwa dhati wanataka kumsaidia mtu aliye katika huzuni, lakini ukosefu wa ujuzi kuhusu mchakato na kutokuwa na uhakika wa jinsi ya kuwasiliana kwa ufanisi kunaweza kuwazuia kutoa usaidizi. Wiki hii, acheni tupate maarifa muhimu kutoka kwa wataalamu kuhusu jinsi ya kumsaidia mtu aliye na huzuni.<\/p>\n

Jessica Eiseman, mshauri aliyeidhinishwa na mmiliki\/mkurugenzi wa kliniki wa Tiba ya Ajana na Huduma za Kliniki huko Houston, Texas, anafafanua huzuni kama njia ya kusisimua ya hisia anazopata mtu baada ya kupoteza kitu au mtu muhimu.<\/p>\n

Kulingana na Eiseman, ni uzoefu wa kawaida kabisa ambao huchukua mtu kupitia hatua za kukataa, hasira, mazungumzo, unyogovu na kukubalika.<\/p>\n

"Kuomboleza ni jambo la kibinafsi sana, na hakuna mtu anayepaswa kuamua ni nini 'kinachostahili huzuni' kwa mwingine. Pia kuna tabaka nyingi za msingi za huzuni. Pia ni muhimu kutambua kwamba huzuni sio mchakato wa mstari. Tunaweza kuifikiria kama mawimbi yanayokuja na kuondoka. Hakuna watu wawili watakaohuzunika kwa njia ile ile, na ratiba ya kila mtu ya uponyaji itatofautiana,\u201d Eiseman aliambia. Matibabu Kila Siku. <\/em><\/p>\n

Mambo yanayoathiri huzuni<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mwitikio wa mtu kwa kifo cha mtu binafsi unaweza kuathiriwa na wengi sababu<\/a>, ikijumuisha umri wa mtu anayeomboleza, uhusiano na mtu aliyefariki, sababu ya kifo, historia ya kitamaduni na mifumo ya imani. Hali ya kifedha ya mtu binafsi, afya, na kiwango cha usaidizi kutoka kwa familia, marafiki na jamii pia vinaweza kuathiri mwitikio.<\/p>\n

Huzuni ni tofauti gani na unyogovu?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kulingana na Jessica Rabon, mwanasaikolojia aliyeidhinishwa kutoka Carolina Kusini, huzuni na huzuni<\/a> inaweza kuwa vigumu kutofautisha kwa sababu ya dalili fulani zinazoingiliana kama vile huzuni kali, matatizo ya kulala, kupoteza hamu ya kula na kuwashwa au hasira.<\/p>\n

"Huzuni ni itikio la kihisia ambalo mtu hupata baada ya hasara kubwa. Ingawa unyogovu unaweza pia kutokea kutokana na hasara, huzuni mara nyingi hufikiriwa kuwa hutokana na mchanganyiko wa mambo ya kibayolojia, kisaikolojia na kijamii. Kwa huzuni, maumivu ya kihisia yanayopatikana kwa kawaida huzunguka kutamani kupoteza, kuhangaikia hasara, kuepusha vikumbusho vya hasara, na uwezekano wa kufa ganzi kihisia,\u201d Rabon aliambia. Matibabu Kila Siku<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Ingawa dalili za nje zinaweza kuonekana sawa, sababu ya msingi itakuwa tofauti.<\/p>\n

\u201cHuzuni kwa ujumla hupungua kadiri muda unavyopita au huja kwa mawimbi, kama vile mtu anayehuzunika anapokabiliwa na ukumbusho wa hasara; hata hivyo, unyogovu unaelekea kuenea zaidi na thabiti kwa muda,\u201d Rabon aliongeza.<\/p>\n

Njia moja ya kutofautisha huzuni na unyogovu ni kwamba huzuni huhusishwa na sababu maalum na kawaida hupungua baada ya muda, wakati huzuni huelekea kukaa bila sababu wazi, Eiseman alisema.<\/p>\n

"Huzuni mara nyingi husababisha uchovu wa kihisia, ugumu wa kuzingatia, usumbufu wa usingizi na hamu ya kula, na kutopendezwa sana na shughuli ambazo mtu alikuwa akifurahia. Inapokuwa kali, mawazo ya kujiua yanaweza kuandamana nayo. Tofauti na huzuni, huzuni daima haina sababu maalum, inayotambulika, ikilinganishwa na asili iliyofafanuliwa zaidi ya huzuni. Unyogovu sio tu kesi ya blues. Ni hali ya chini ya muda mrefu na kali ambayo inaweza kuathiri ubora wa maisha ya mtu, "alielezea.<\/p>\n

Jinsi ya kumsaidia mtu mwenye huzuni<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ni muhimu kutambua kwamba kuomboleza ni uzoefu wa kibinafsi sana. Kile ambacho mtu anataka kusikia au kutosikia wakati anaomboleza kinaweza kuwa cha kibinafsi.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnapojitokeza kwa mtu mwenye huzuni, ni sawa usiwe na maneno na kumueleza hivyo, wakati mwingine kuwepo kuna manufaa zaidi kuliko kuzungumza. Kuhusu mada ambazo hazipaswi kuzungumzwa, kwa mara nyingine tena hiyo ni ya mtu binafsi; hata hivyo, mara nyingi kuna mambo 'yasiyopaswa kusema' kwa watu binafsi wanaoomboleza kama vile 'Ninajua kile unachopitia,' 'Jipe moyo tu,' au 'Wako mahali pazuri zaidi.' Ingawa mambo haya yote yanasemwa kwa nia njema, yanaweza kuwa batili kwa mtu anayeomboleza au kupunguza hisia nyingi anazopitia,\u201d Rabon alisema.<\/p>\n

Hata kama hujui jinsi ya kuzungumza, nyakati nyingine kuwa pamoja na mtu anayeomboleza kunaweza kutosha. Kukubali hasara ya mtu na kufanya mazungumzo naye bila kuweka chini hisia zao lazima iwe ufunguo.<\/p>\n

\u201cWatu wanapohuzunika, huwa na mwelekeo wa kujitenga na kujitenga, kwa hiyo, inaweza kusaidia kumwalika mpendwa wako kwenye shughuli ambazo watafurahia, wakielewa kwamba huenda wasije. Njia nyingine ya kumsaidia mtu huyo inaweza kuwa kusaidia kwa kazi zinazoonekana. Watu wanapohuzunika, juhudi na nguvu kwa ajili ya kazi kama vile kupika, kusafisha au kufanya matembezi mara nyingi hupungua, hivyo basi kujitolea kuwafanyia kitu kinachoonekana kunaweza kusaidia. Zaidi ya hayo, kumwalika mtu huyo azungumze kuhusu msiba, kushiriki hadithi na hata kushiriki kumbukumbu zako mwenyewe (tukichukulia kuwa huzuni iko karibu na kufiwa na mpendwa) kunaweza kusaidia,\u201d Rabon alieleza.<\/p>\n

Ikiwa mtu anayepitia huzuni anahitaji usaidizi wa ziada, kupata usaidizi wa kitaalamu kupitia tiba ya kisaikolojia na vikundi vya usaidizi wa huzuni kunaweza kuwa na manufaa. Katika baadhi ya matukio, dalili za huzuni zinapovuruga utendaji wa kawaida wa mtu, wataalamu wa afya wanaweza kuagiza dawamfadhaiko.<\/p>\n

Ikiwa wewe au mtu unayemjua anatatizika au yuko katika hali mbaya, usaidizi unapatikana. Piga simu au tuma ujumbe kwa 988 au zungumza <\/em>katika 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.
