Grief is an emotion that often takes centre stage in our lives, yet it remains a topic that's not always easy to discuss. In this episode of 'Mental Health Matters', Liz Lange and Dr. Mark Burton take a deep dive into the complexities of grief beyond the usual association with death. They explore how grief can stem from various types of loss, such as losing a job, going through a divorce, or even the end of a friendship.
It's not just about the loss of a loved one, but also about losing parts of ourselves or our lives that are significant. Dr. Burton categorises grief into four areas: loss of identity, loss of safety, loss of autonomy, and loss of dreams. Each type presents its own challenges and emotions, making it difficult to compare one person's grief to another's.
The episode also touches on the stages of grief, emphasising that it's not a linear journey but one filled with ebbs and flows. Liz Lange shares personal anecdotes, including her experience with miscarriage and the complicated emotions that followed. Her story highlights how grief can be confusing and multifaceted, leaving us unsure of how to feel or react. Dr. Burton adds to the conversation by discussing complicated grief and the importance of seeking help when grief becomes overwhelming.
The discussion is both heartfelt and informative, offering listeners a chance to reflect on their own experiences with grief and loss. If you've ever found yourself grappling with the nuances of grief, this episode offers valuable perspectives and support, reminding us that it's okay to feel whatever we're feeling.
