Death is inevitable. It is part of the human life cycle: people are born every minute, and people die every minute. Death maybe in the farthest loops in time, or it may be just around the corner, but no one actually knows when it will happen.

Aside from the fear of one’s own demise, losing a loved one can also have a similar emotional toll. As the brain is capable of linking emotions to memories, this results in distress for people who have lost their spouse, child, or parent. Memories of past conversations and time spent together are some of the things people remember when they think of their departed loved one that can elicit deep sorrow or anxiety. It is best for the grieving individual to be surrounded by family and friends during such tough time. Seeking counseling or professional help can also be one way of dealing with such great loss.
In fact, experts note that those who seek support from family, friends, or professionals, heal faster than those who grieve on their own. Although those who are grieving understand that they cannot bring their loved ones back, they have beautiful memories to remember.
