HFLE- Dealing With Loss
Storyboard Text
- Hi Sarah, are you still grieving the loss of your car?
- Hey Sid, actually I am. The way my car just burst into flames was totally unpredictable.
- Yes sudden loss is very traumatic. I learnt that some symptoms are sleep disturbance, nightmares, distressing thoughts, depressed mood, social isolation, or severe anxiety.
- Well to be honest I think I had all of those symptoms. I think the worse one was the nightmares.
- Well, when my dog died. I had a longer time to prepare for the loss. But I was still sad after he died. But my symptoms were not as severe as yours.
- I keep having nightmares of me not getting out of the car in time and burning up in flames with the car.
- Well, it is seems you are going through the stages of grief, as expected. But Sarah, please note that you must not rush your body in this process, and if you feel you need help, or you find you are and always sad, try to seek a counselor.
- Oh, ok. But I don't think I would need to see a counselor because I am recovering kind of alright.
- Well, you know for each person the recovery time is different. So, its ok to still feel these symptoms at this point in time but they would not last forever.
- So, it's ok if I feel like I'm going crazy, having difficulty concentrating, feel sad or depressed. am irritable or angry, feel frustrated, and experience anxiety and guilt?
- Yep, it is ok to experience all of that.
- Well now I feel a little better and a little more educated from what you told me. Thanks!
