    About this ebook

    Women and grief

    Death is always sudden. It rips people out of their usual routine and turns their life upside down from one second to the next. In death, it makes no difference whether the bereaved have been able to prepare themselves for the death of a loved one for some time or whether the news hits them suddenly and unexpectedly. When someone close to you dies, it always feels as though the rug has been pulled out from under your feet. Sure, it’s certainly comforting if you’ve had enough time to talk to the deceased or resolve possible conflicts with them.
    But ultimately it doesn’t matter whether you were able to prepare for your final goodbyes, or if it happens out of the blue – there’ll always be a gap, and you need to learn to live with it.
    Grief is the natural response to such a loss and is as individual as us humans. Grief is shaped by the relationship you had with the deceased. And it also depends on just how close this relationship was.

    This short guide is a first quick aid on the path of grieving. My condolences and sympathy!

      Women and grief

      Death is always sudden. It rips people out of their usual routine and turns their life upside down from one second to the next. In death, it makes no difference whether the bereaved have been able to prepare themselves for the death of a loved one for some time or whether the news hits them suddenly and unexpectedly. When someone close to you dies, it always feels as though the rug has been pulled from under your feet.

      It’s certainly comforting if you’ve had enough time to talk to the deceased or resolve possible conflicts with them, but ultimately it doesn’t matter whether you were able to prepare for your final goodbyes or if it happens out of the blue – there will always be a gap, and you need to learn to live with it.

      Grief is the natural response to such a loss and is as individual as us humans. Grief is shaped by the relationship you had with the deceased, and it also depends on just how close this relationship was.

      The stages of grief

      When you lose someone you love dearly, no matter whether a parent, a grandparent, a life partner, a child or a pet, the loss hurts beyond measure. You waver between desperation, hopelessness, shock and even anger about a situation that you cannot change.

      You may even be angry at the deceased for leaving you alone. You wonder whether all this is normal because you've never experienced anything like it before. All these feelings are part of dealing with grief, and you should allow yourself to feel them to help you understand and process the
