How Grief Shows Up In Your Body

When someone close to you dies, your social role changes, too. This can affect your sense of meaning and sense of self.

Caregivers face especially complicated role adjustments. The physical and emotional demands of caregiving can leave them feeling depleted even before a loved one dies, and losing the person they took care of can leave them with a lost sense of purpose. "This can result in the emergence of new or the reemergence of existing 'dormant' health problems after the death of the care recipient. These health issues may or may not be directly related to the caregiver's grief experience, but they are likely related to the life situation that was created through the demands of caregiving," Boerner says.

I had an experience with such horrible syndrome😥.

And the feeling of broken heart is palpable

What’s worse is grieving the loss of a grown child who rejects you. It’s never final. The person you long for is still there. Agonizing.

If we didn’t love then we wouldn’t grieve. I lost my dad a few years ago and it devastating but the grief I feel is of my deep love for him. Regrets? nothing was left unsaid so I regret nothing thank god!

I didn’t realize how cold someone is when there dead in a coffin . When I went to a funeral I touch the person and they were so cold it was frightening. It brought me much grief.

This so very true, after doctors killed my brother I was taken to the hospital thinking I was having a heart attack to find out I was suffering from broken heart syndrome. My body has not been the same.

Once when I broke up with a boyfriend after a two year relationship, in the midst of crying I experienced sharp piercing pains in my heart. I was so frightened I phoned a friend... 💔

Very true.

It's Takotsubo syndrome. Heart failure. Call it what it is

Handmaid's Tale Season 3 Review: No Redemption for Serena JoyThe Handmaid’s Tale has never had a great track record when it comes to its handling of race. Despite all historical and contemporary evidence to the contrary, the ongoing adaptation (now in its third season on Hulu) continues to blindly insist that black women would not be uniquely affected by the implementation of a theocratic regime built on the reproductive subjugation of their bodies. This has always been the show’s biggest flaw, but this season’s focus on Serena Joy (Yvonne Strahovski), her grief over losing baby Nichole and her shaky alliance with June (Elisabeth Moss) has once again brought the show’s racial issues into sharp relief, demonstrating the many ways in which stories about women suffer when they do not recognize how experiences of injustice can be amplified and complicated by race.

Body camera video appears to show 17-year-old pointing replica gun at officer before she is shot, police sayA 17-year-old girl killed by a Fullerton police officer last week appears to have been pointing a replica handgun at the officer when she was shot, according to body camera footage, police say. I’ll believe it when I see it. Assuming the body cam footage is legit, which I don't, that was a very dumb thing to do unless you have a death wish. How was he supposed to know? You wanna risk your life hoping it's a replica? Yeah, that's what I thought. sitdown
