This article will help you explore what you and others in your life may be going through. We the people, who live in the United States, are often poorly prepared to deal with a loss. We seldom, if ever, discuss the inevitable death that will take place for all living creatures. We don’t begin to think about loosing a job, a friend, a pet or other tangible items until they are no longer with us. Loss is a personal and can be a complicated event. Feelings range from heartfelt hurt to extreme anger. No feeling is unusual or uncommon. Pain, grief and suffering are the most common feelings when one experiences a loss. Loss often affects our entire body and mind. It may make one feel exhausted, helpless and overwhelmed. It is my hope that the following paragraphs will introduce you, the reader, to begin to work through your loss (or help your child through a loss) by learning the language of loss, coping while grieving and helping yourself (or your child) through the healing process.
Before we begin, I must share with you that there are many people who are professionally trained to help you and your child through the grieving process that comes with loss. Numerous medical organizations have trained mental health professional to help you learn to cope with loss in a face-to-face counseling setting. Most religious organizations have trained professionals ready to meet and serve your grieving heart. Job loss individuals can get individual help from job find organizations that are listed in newspapers and Internet in each state. I encourage you to explore these opportunities. You do not need to go through the process alone!
What is Loss?
Loss is an ending of what we once had. It is an event. It is often a natural and common event that we Americans seldom prepare for. Over two million people die each year in the United States. Although 94% to 96% of our population is working, millions of workers each year suffer from a job loss. Pet lovers grieve from the four to five million cats and dogs that die each year. It is common to refer to a big loss, such as the death of a family member, as being the most hurtful loss. We need to realize, however, that the loss of a job, spouse through divorce, and yes, a family pet can be just as hurtful. Sometimes loss comes when we move from our existing home, change of job or being disappointed in not getting a material item that was expected. Loss comes to many who become disabled, get cut from a team and have a friend end a relationship. All of these events are a loss.

As a widow of four years, yes, loss is devastating and we’re never prepared, even following caretaking over an illness. We need to talk about it more, to help bring each of us, the ill and the caretaker and family, to a more accepting, peaceful, loving and accepting conclusion. But it is difficult.
