Listen Later

Are you avoiding everyone after a tragic loss? Is someone you love pushing you away, especially after losing a child? Join Dr. B, a psychiatric nurse with 20+ years of experience, in this YouTube video as she explores the complexities of grief and relationships.

Dr. B, having endured the heartbreaking loss of three children under different circumstances over 17 years, is an expert in grief. She understands the common theme of people withdrawing from their family, spouse, and friends after experiencing profound loss. In this video, she emphasizes the importance of finding a support system to navigate through the grieving process.

Dr. B acknowledges that individuals who have lost a child often feel like nobody truly comprehends their pain. While that may be true, she encourages viewers to recognize that support can still be found. She shares her personal journey of engaging in controlled grief with her family, where they spent time together, looked at pictures, and shared their grief. This process allowed her to find solace and provided an opportunity to understand the pain of others as well.

When others rally around us during our darkest moments, it's natural to feel overwhelmed and think, "This doesn't help." Dr. B shares her realization that while no one can take away the pain, focusing on positive aspects and finding three things to hold onto can bring comfort amidst grief.

Grieving with others, whether they have experienced a similar loss or not, can provide solace and understanding. Dr. B highlights the significance of finding a support system, whether it includes friends who comprehend the pain or caring individuals who are willing to listen. By embracing vulnerability and engaging in open conversations, healing, and connection can be fostered.

Dr. B concludes by urging viewers to mend relationships with those who genuinely want to be supportive. She stresses the importance of finding your support system, even if it consists of only one to three close individuals. This network becomes a crucial source of mental strength throughout the grieving process.

Join Dr. B in this transformative YouTube video as she shares her insights, challenges, and compassionate guidance on finding and nurturing a support system after the loss of a child.
