Remembering Jaklin Viguen: A Life Well-Lived

Dealing with Emotional Outbursts
It is very common for a bereaved person to have emotional outbursts, whether it's crying, anger, or frustration. Do not take these moments personally. Remember that their emotions are a direct result of their grief. The best response is to remain calm and empathetic. If they express anger, you can acknowledge it by saying, "It's completely understandable to feel angry right now." The key is to validate their feelings without trying to change them. Creating a space where they feel safe to express these emotions is crucial for their healing process.
