When to Seek Professional Help
While many of the symptoms of grief are normal, persistent symptoms need to be taken seriously.
Are you:
- Always feeling exhausted, anxious, suicidal, depressed, helpless, or uncontrollably angry?
- Withdrawing from family, friends, work or school?
- Becoming dependent on drugs or alcohol?
- Having little desire to get involved in activities you once enjoyed?
Ultimately, what most people need after a significant loss is the support of caring loved ones, family and friends. Carolina Hospice Care is committed to providing compassionate care to families and friends who have lost a loved one. Even though family members and friends may provide each other with a support system, sometimes more help is needed.
