There is no worse feeling than dealing with the death of a loved one. When a person you love dies, there are no words that can describe your emotions. All you want to do is sit in a dark room and let your grief take over.
However, you can’t allow that to happen, because it isn’t healthy. One way or another, you have to get over your emotions. It is what you need and what they would want for the sake of your future. To do that, you need to take care of a few things, like those included below.
Grieving Process
You should mourn the passing of your friend while the grief is still fresh. Although you don’t want to do it for too long, it is healthy to grieve. Otherwise, the pent up emotions build up and manifest themselves in unhealthy ways. In other words, grieving is healthy. It doesn’t matter what form it takes as long as it happens. You can laugh, you can cry, or you can grieve introspectively, because there is no right or wrong way. Remember that everyone grieves in different ways. So you shouldn’t judge your process by another person’s yardstick.
Wrongful Death
No one wants to think that their loved one died as a result of negligence, but there is a chance it is the case. Although it isn’t nice to hear, there are thousands of wrongful death lawsuits every year. After all, doctors and surgeons are only human, and they make mistakes. The money will never help bring them back, but it will set you up for the long-term. A successful lawsuit could find you the money you need to survive, as well as give you closure. You can find more detailed info from Black and Johnson if you are interested. The thing about grieving is that it is hard to achieve unless you understand the cause of death.
Their Estate
Hopefully, they will leave a will that dictates matters. Then, there is no need for squabbling or in-fighting over money and resources. In that case, you just need to ensure that the arbitrator of the will takes charge of the situation. That doesn’t mean that they get to divvy up the resources as they please because that is the lawyer’s job. What they must do is keep everyone informed and they must attend all the relevant meetings. It isn’t an easy job, but it is an important one. If there isn’t a will, it could get tricky. In that case, speak to a lawyer as soon as possible. Get a grasp of your position and what you need to do to get your share.
Remembrance
Just because they are gone doesn’t mean they are gone forever. It is a cliché, but they are with you in your memories. It is important to let them go, but it is also important to remember them as they were a huge part of your life. Anyone or anything that has a positive impact on your life is worth remembering.
It is never easy to deal with the impact of death. But, you must try for your sake and the sake of the people that depend on you.
