Losing a Loved One: Dealing with The Most Difficult Situation in Life

For five years as couples you waited for a daughter that will bring meaning to your life. You personally witnessed her first innocent face as she was brought to the nursery room. But after days of struggling from Hemolytic disease (an abnormal breakdown of red blood cells), the same face you have longed for and the small fragile body you once carried now lies in a small white coffin. This is one of the many devastating predicaments that we usually experience as human beings. How many people so dear to us will still pass away? Yet, sometimes, few of us are failing miserably in easing the pain of losing the one we love during the first time we experienced it. We have to be prepared. For if we are not strong enough emotionally and spiritually, it could weaken our determination to go on. We could succumb to the pressure psychologically and physically. Relatives and friends who take refuge in our strength may find it hard to move on as well.

No one can deny that a death of a loved one can cause too much depression and anxiety. This often leads to self-destructive behavior that could initiate suicide, alcoholism and the use of drugs. These actions are intended to harm one’s self. It could come from willful acts, unintended consequences or psychological causes.  http://hubpages.com/hub/Self-Destructive-Behaviour
