1. What to do if you are affected with a traumatic situation?
It is always painful if you lose a loved one and traumatic sudden death can take
longer to heal from.
The primary trauma is knowing that your loved one is dead. Being aware that
they have to go in and see the conditions that are left behind is another. It's not
something that should be left for a family member to manage.
When such a situation affects a family member or the whole family, the
entire family experiences the consequences. Traumatic events have the
ability to interrupt vital functions of the family.
So here are a few steps that you can do if you have been affected by a traumatic
death:
 First and foremost grant yourself time to grieve and recognize your loss, try
not to avoid it by keeping busy.
 It is all right to be hurt and perfectly normal to feel sad or miss the person
who has died.
 Everyone at some phase has lost someone close to them and everyone will
react differently. Do not resemble how you are grieving to someone else. We
are unique, that is what makes us human.
 Take sufficient rest, it is normal to feel tired or emotionally empty. Do things
that help you relax – eg: taking a bath, reading, listening to music etc.
 Take each second/minute/hour/day/week as it comes - whatever is easier to
bear.

2.  Do not be afraid to speak to your friends if you are finding it hard to cope.
 Write a journal about how you are feeling, if it helps. Then you can write as
though you are writing to your loved one.
 Get a day-time schedule going, plan in things you enjoy doing i.e. meeting a
friend.
 It is fine to talk about your loved one and share your memories with others.
 Go out in the fresh air for a walk. Walking will release the tensions in your
body that are our natural ‘feel good’ factors.
 Accept any support from friends whether it is functional or emotional. People
would not offer if they did not want to help. They offer because they care.
Don’t be proud we all need comfort and looking after some of the time.
 Talk to a good therapist who is experienced in trauma. You do not need to
pretend to be strong with the therapist or afraid of upsetting them. They did
not know your loved one. You will able to speak to them with self-confidence
knowing you will not be judged.
 Finally give yourself time. A grieving process cannot be rushed, so do not get
scared to cry. You will get through this.
