Methods for dealing with grief
We can say with confidence that there is no point in once again chewing on what grief is, what its causes are, and so on. Let's get straight to the point: how to avoid misfortunes and, along with them, a melancholic state? No way. Troubles and misfortunes will haunt us throughout our lives, unfortunately, this is an integral part of it. It's unavoidable. But how a person will perceive unpleasant moments in life depends only on him. There is, by the way, a good quote about grief by Paine Thomas:
I honor a man who can smile in adversity, draw strength from sorrow, and find the source of courage in reflection.
After all, there really is no point in grieving over what has already happened. This will not solve the problem, but will only make it worse. The only thing that can be done in the current situation is to accept it, extract some benefit from it, and draw appropriate conclusions. You can also say: “Thank God it’s so little.”
But the question immediately arises: “How holy does a person have to be to react to troubles in this way?” Without a doubt, this is extremely difficult. Probably, we should move from theory directly to practice.
There is one great way. You can clarify statistical data, for example, about the mortality rate of the world population and its causes. Interesting fact: about a hundred people a year die from champagne corks. What can we say about more serious reasons, such as road accidents, various diseases, etc.
After reading such information, a person will most likely think about how he can even complain that something in life did not go according to plan or that everything is bad. As they say, if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.
How lucky people are, frankly, to even wake up and get out of bed. Many simply fall asleep, metaphorically speaking, in eternal sleep. Therefore, we must appreciate what we have at this moment. After all, life can end at any moment.
