When someone we love or care about passes-away, especially when it is sudden and unexpected, it can become a very stressful situation. Arrangement decisions to be made, informing family and friends, and other tasks associated with the end of life. This is on top of the grief felt by the loss which can lead to despair.
When we lose a loved one, we associate grief as the main emotion and we sometimes underestimate the amount of stress the situation causes. Elissa Berman, Lifebanc Sr. Bereavement Services Counselor shares helpful information about handling the stress of grief.
