The old man was hit, how to alleviate the psychological shadow? My mother is in her early sixties. Her daughter passed away last year.

Facing the death of a loved one is a serious psychological blow, which will almost certainly bring us long-term influence. This is human nature. Usually, just after learning the bad news, the first psychological reaction is to refuse to accept it, but to be angry and unbelievable; Followed by sadness, wailing and emotional excitement; Then it will enter the stage of long-term depression, which seems calm on the surface, but it is difficult to calm down, easy to be emotional and long-term depression; Finally, I really let go, missed and missed, but I am no longer too sad.

These are almost four stages that everyone must go through. Many times, we will comfort the old people not to be sad, not to be sad, not to do this or that, which leads to the old people often suppressing their inner emotions, but they can't really get rid of their emotions. From the perspective of psychological counseling, accompanying the elderly through some necessary stages, appropriately releasing depressed negative emotions, choosing the right time, and suggesting the elderly with some ritualized words and deeds, such as arranging photos and offering sacrifices on Memorial Day, is the end of the psychological subconscious. Sometimes, even if our hearts have basically calmed down, we still need a formal ceremony to remind ourselves that our loved ones are safe and our grief is over. We should cherish the good memories of the past and start a new life.
