Grief is complex, layered and often confusing. To help us to better understand grief, leading expert Sidney Zisook, MD, Department of Psychiatry at UCSD, walks us through the painful but ultimately healing process that follows loss. Included is a discussion about persistent acute grief and major depression. Series: “SIRA (Sam and Rose Stein Institute for Research on Aging)” [12/2007] [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 12290]

I wouldn’t be able to love anyone else if I was to become a widow. I am a woman of only one man and to me, love and marriage is for the whole life and after… ;* Unhappy marriages where only one spouse loves and the other does not, do not count… ;P ;/- lol…

True. Only if we don’t love, we don’t grief, either… :-(

most psychiatrists just give grieving people a drug as if a drug can bring my wife back from the dead and comfort me.

I must be to the extreme as when my mom died I fell apart, went into the worst depths of depression and even got so sick that it almost killed me. I stopped living and it’s been 9 yrs since I lost my mom whom it wasn’t expected and she was 53 yrs old and she was my everything so I wonder why I am still stuck in my darkness of grief and depression. It doesn’t go away or when ppl tell me you need to get over it makes me angry as how do you just get over it?

nurses get about 10 hours each year per year of study

Good grief or bad grief? Oh I forgot. Doctors only had 1 measly hour to study this in med school and it could take yeeears to investigate. Most of their time is spent barring cures and getting richer and richer killing people with dangerous drugs.

There is no correct way to grieve. Different cultures have their way of grieving. Who came up with the 2 month grief limit? That is insane. They forget the Holidays! the birthdays and the family gatherings, all this can take years to deal with depending on the person.

If someone is still depressed after two months, i think that is very normal. The person has gone forever and is never coming back. That is enough to destroy a person.

Brilliant presentation of a difficult subject. Helped me to understand the price of repressing grief and avoiding tears.

Arnebananlolo January 13, 2012 at 9:13 pm

Wtf.
I wanted to see people ruining other people’s games, not this! O_o

you should give your boss’s wife a bereavement of their own then.

Superbird281 January 13, 2012 at 10:14 pm

I wish workplaces took bereavement more seriously. My workplace gives 3 days. That’s enough time to plan a funeral, but not much else.

Well, maybe you could make your own video :-)

i don’t know how to glam up loss :) -

gabe0083 January 13, 2012 at 10:45 pm

I just meant the video was boring, which is irrelevent to me losing anyone

newarrior3000 January 13, 2012 at 11:24 pm

The presenter rocks !@

newarrior3000 January 13, 2012 at 11:54 pm

I agree most adults are walking dumbshits

newarrior3000 January 14, 2012 at 12:25 am

Gabe: Are you a moron, immature ? Haven’t experienced loss ? You will–

newarrior3000 January 14, 2012 at 12:54 am

I LOVE THIS !

We live in an ill society that denies death–

No one wants to feel

We live in a society of addicts who hate to feel

Would love to hear from any midlife orphans !
