Provide support to those experiencing sadness, suffering, and strength.

Firstly, it is important to recognise that anyone in such a challenging situation will likely experience feelings of helplessness, hopelessness and desperation. You have demonstrated greater strength and resilience than others, and seeking assistance is a positive step towards making a change and exploring new possibilities. I am here to support you.

Secondly, it is important to recognise that you have the opportunity to express your emotions and thoughts when faced with difficulties. It is not helpful to simply struggle on alone. You should feel able to release your emotions and regulate your emotions and behaviour by appropriately expressing and venting your sad feelings, whether that be when no one is around, when you are with friends, or even when you are interacting with friends of the opposite sex.

Third, in light of the current circumstances, it is advisable to seek assistance from family members and elders in child care responsibilities while simultaneously exploring opportunities to gain workplace experience and knowledge in preparation for future independent employment.

Good day, I am writing in response to your query.

After reviewing your message, I empathize with your situation.

At the beginning of 2019, I also experienced a situation similar to yours, and the grief was profound.

It is important to note that no amount of consolation will be deemed adequate when faced with the loss of a loved one.

The experience of widowhood is a traumatic event for anyone.

How should it be addressed?

Please find below a few suggestions that I hope you will find helpful.

1. Address your grief and pain directly.

In the event of a traumatic experience, it is important to acknowledge and process the associated emotions, including feelings of separation and loss. These feelings are a normal part of the grieving process and should not be suppressed.

Additionally, it may be helpful to consider the meaning of death.

While it may signify the conclusion of a chapter, it can also represent the advent of a new one.

...

Additionally, you may find it beneficial to consider the perspectives of philosophers on the subject of death.

2. Transform grief into resilience.

In the event of the death of a loved one, it is important to allow yourself time to mourn. You may wish to recall happy times spent together and look for ways to honour the memory of your loved one and the time you spent together.

Consider how he would respond if he were still here and saw your current situation. I believe he would say, "I can't be with you on the rest of the journey, but please be happy without me."

Over the past three years, whenever I encountered difficulties or had to make a decision, I would ask myself, "If my loved one were still here, what approach would he take to solve the problem and what choice would he make?" It's as if he were still by our side!

3. Return to work.

In your message, you expressed a desire to resume work, but indicated uncertainty about how to interact with your child. It may be helpful to consider that other children may be attending kindergarten at age three.

The child's lack of a father does not impact his life. To ensure a healthy upbringing, it is essential to treat him as any other child would be treated. He is no different from any other child!

It is important to trust your child and believe that he has the courage and ability to face the challenges that life presents.

The aforementioned process is to be adhered to. In the event of feelings of sadness, it is recommended that the individual engage in conversation with friends or engage in tasks that will serve to distract them from their grief.

It is important to note that if the parent is well, the child will likely be well as well.

In conclusion, it is important to remember that separation can be a challenging experience, and it is essential to be kind to ourselves during this process.

I hope these answers prove helpful.

I wish you the best of success.

This is to confirm that the date is 4 June 2022.

Greetings, question asker. I am K., the little whale.

It is my sincere hope that you will experience a gradual improvement in your condition and emerge from the depths of grief and helplessness.

It is reasonable to conclude that you loved your husband dearly. In the wake of his unexpected demise, it is challenging to accept that he has departed from this world. The sudden loss of a loved one can leave a family feeling adrift, vulnerable, and profoundly sad.

The intention is to accept the reality of his departure in a constructive manner. This implies a desire to regain one's equilibrium, to adopt a positive outlook on life, to provide for one's children and oneself, and to lead a fulfilling existence. This is a constructive suggestion to the mind, and the individual is doing well.

I extend to you a further embrace.

Facing the death of a loved one evokes a complex emotional response, encompassing sadness and distress. However, it is also essential to confront this experience with resilience and strength. One can reflect on the numerous shared experiences, including mealtimes, childcare responsibilities, leisure activities, and even disagreements. By recalling these moments, one can begin to process the profound impact of the loss and gradually find a path towards healing.

This must be the strength that will support you through this special period. He loved and cared for you with all his heart, believing that you could take care of yourself. His every concern and every act of care seem to still linger in your ears, reminding you that "I'm not here anymore, so you have to take good care of yourself and the children."

"

Despite the premature loss of my father, his affection for me has remained unwavering. He imparted upon me the skills of dancing, traversing horizontal and vertical bars, cycling, and playing ping pong and basketball.

He consistently provided transportation to and from school. In the event of bullying, he would intervene on my behalf.

His departure was so abrupt that for an extended period, I was unable to come to terms with the reality of his absence. I found myself persistently imagining that he was still with me, though I was unable to perceive his physical presence. I recognize that this experience has provided me with a form of spiritual sustenance, and I am confident that I can lead a fulfilling life due to the immense love and support I have received from my family.

It is my belief that you have also experienced the emotion of love and that the act of loving another person is a powerful one. You will become strong; there is no need to be afraid. Despite the fact that women are composed of water, they are strong as mothers. Love has the capacity to overcome all difficulties and obstacles.

I perceive your existence. The world and I hold you in high regard, so persevere!

My dear baby,

It is unfortunate to read your story and empathize with your situation. At only 31 years old, you have experienced the loss of a loved one to illness. You have also lost the support you once had in life and in your relationships, which has left you feeling powerless and as though the world has suddenly become a very dark place.

However, at this time, your 3-year-old baby is still waiting for you to take care of him. It is important to stay positive and face this challenge with a strong spirit.

At this time, it might be helpful to give yourself a hug. You are strong. Many women feel that they are naturally weak, but when you become a mother, you become strong. In front of your child, you might find it helpful to hold your shoulders straight and support him.

It is understandable that this is a challenging period for you. Before the wounds have had a chance to heal, you may feel the urge to go out to work and support your family.

However, it is important to consider that time and energy are limited. Therefore, if you are working, it may not be feasible to also take care of the child at the same time.

At this time, it would be advisable to focus on finding work. Without financial resources, it may be challenging to provide for your child's basic needs.

We suggest that you consider starting in a field you are familiar with. While your income may not be significant at first, with experience, it will likely grow. This could provide a secure living for you and your child.

If it is not too much trouble, you might consider asking your parents or relatives if they could help with childcare. If that is not an option, you may want to think about sending your child to kindergarten or a child care center when he turns three. That way, someone will be taking care of your child while you are at work.

We hope that your work will help to ease the pain of losing your loved one and prevent you from dwelling on it too much. We also hope that your sense of responsibility towards your child will give you strength to overcome the current difficulties.

I believe that all suffering will pass, and that after the rain comes the rainbow. You are strong, and I am confident that you will overcome this difficult period soon. I am sure that there will be a happy life ahead for you.

Good day. I am pleased to respond to your inquiry.

It is understandable that you may be experiencing feelings of concern, helplessness, and stress. The suddenness of this situation can leave you feeling disoriented and overwhelmed. It is important to recognize and acknowledge these feelings. Expressing your emotions is a positive step towards managing the situation effectively.

Verbal comfort at this juncture may seem inadequate and ineffective. The most constructive approach is to listen attentively and provide support.

##Psychological Trauma##

The sudden death of a loved one/spouse is a stressful event that can have a significant impact on our emotional well-being. In general, individuals may experience the following stages:

☞1. Denial

The sudden death of a loved one/spouse often results in a period of denial and rejection, with individuals initially struggling to accept the reality of the situation.

☞2. Shock

Once the denial phase has concluded, individuals will begin to accept the reality of their loved one's/spouse's demise. This often elicits a visceral reaction, prompting the question, "Has he truly departed?"

☞3. Regret

As people gradually calm down, they may begin to experience feelings of remorse. They may think, "Why didn't I notice earlier?" or "Why didn't I take them to the hospital earlier?" They may then start to feel that they have not fulfilled their obligations and that they did not notice any issues with their loved ones/spouses before they died.

4. Depression

Once the medical professional has provided confirmation, individuals are typically able to accept the reality of death. During this period, people may become reserved and despondent, exhibiting behaviors such as silence and listlessness. Many individuals experience depression during this time, driven by a fear of burdening those around them with their emotions. However, what is most crucial during this stage is to allow oneself to experience sadness.

5. Acceptance

The final stage is acceptance. Regardless of whether you accept the situation actively or passively, you will eventually have to accept the fact that your loved one/spouse has died. A reasonable way to accept this is to try to prevent yourself from being overly saddened and to face life with a more positive attitude.

While I am unaware of the original poster's current state of mind, I am providing this information to clarify that these processes are normal and there is no need to suppress or hide them.

What can be done?

1. Accept the truth: After my husband passed away, the reason we struggled to move on was because we were unable to accept the reality of his absence. The stronger the bond, the more profound the anguish. Avoidance of this reality will only exacerbate the situation. We can gradually accept the fact that our loved ones are gone through rituals.

As an example, sorting through the deceased's belongings allows you the opportunity to communicate your thoughts and feelings directly to them. Additionally, commemorating them on special days provides a sense of closure.

2. Seek support. It is advisable to inform your family members about your difficulties, request their assistance in childcare, and encourage them to foster a sense of intimacy with the children, thereby providing you with the support you need. You may also find it beneficial to speak with your close friends. Discussions with trusted individuals can often provide a sense of relief and a platform to express emotions and receive affection.

3. Psychological Counseling: A professional psychological counselor can provide you with the psychological support and resources you need to navigate challenging situations.

The above represents only personal opinions, and we hope they will prove helpful to you. We will also be available to provide you with any further assistance you may require.

We appreciate your feedback and look forward to hearing more from you.

Hello, question owner! Reading your words is like meeting someone in person. I am Hezhu 0072, and I can feel your helplessness and sadness. I will describe my point of view, and I hope that my next answer will be enlightening and helpful to you!

I can totally relate to how you're feeling! Losing a partner you've spent every waking moment with is a huge shock to the system. They're the rock in your family, and when they suddenly pass away, it's like a big gust of wind has swept away one of your main supports. But, you know what? That just means you get to build an even stronger foundation for yourself!

In fact, in the face of Jinren's sudden death, there's absolutely no need to force yourself to accept it with strength, or to think that it never happened. This is just a self-deceptive deception for you. What you can do is try to communicate and interact with your old friends more!

If it's too painful, you can totally relieve your inner pain by meditating while drawing or running! Running can even produce the feel-good hormone dopamine. You can also try to solve your inner suffering first, and then slowly meet the challenges of the world.

You can record memories of your husband and yourself, or when you feel pain, try to describe a few words that make you feel encouraged, or things to be grateful for. And remember, there are still so many people in the world who are willing to lend you a helping hand!

Wishing you all the best!

The world and I love you!
