Coping with bereavement
1

High all, this if for all you lovely people off grief academy.

I wish to refer you all to a website I have come upon that explains the 16 types of grief as identified by experts:,(not me!!!) so read up at your leisure, I hope you find it useful and would welcome your comments regarding the site, I would love to know the opinion of others, but keep it clean please and try not to shoot the
messenger(me!!!) :crazy_face:

The site is WWW.talkspace.com
Alternatively from the Yahoo homepage type’16 different types of grief’ in the search box and scroll down until you see

‘16 types of grief Talkspace.com’ and just click on that, you should see a large picture of a middle age women, just scroll down and that takes you striate into it.

Hopefully it will help you to understand your grief, and for many of us on our grief journey, that, is the start of our coming to terms with our grief.

Give me feedback please, just keep it clean :slightly_smiling_face:

Good luck

Hello @tim007,

I’m so sorry for the loss of your mother. Thank you for sharing this with us. I’m just giving your thread a gentle, “bump” for you - hopefully someone will have some thoughts to share.

Take good care,

Are you advertising a fee paying site?

No, certainly not, the information on it is free for all to access, the test on it is free as well, I suggest you read through the information and work through the test, answer the questions as honestly as you can, the results are for your information only.

My intention is purely to help people understand more about there own grief on a self help bases, and in doing so, help them to improve there self knowledge and come to terms with there grief. and to progress along there grief journey.

I have developed an interest in the science of the greaving process, it is the brain training its self to accept a new, and unwanted reality, and is a close cousin to depression which I have, so my interest in the subject is rather more then merely academia.

All grief is different, your grief journey is unique to you, and is as individual as your DNA, this is why there is no such thing as the correct way to grieve, what I can tell you, is at the end of the process you will be mentally stronger and more resilient to the knocks of life.

Feel free to ask me anything else, the information on the site is only very basic, but enough to guide one towards understanding ones own grief, grief is a very complicated subject and you can take it to PhD level, that is far beyond what anyone on this site needs unless they want to be a neuroscientist or something like that.

I hope you find the site helpful, it has helped me and a friend of mine.

Enjoy your weekend, thankyou for your enquiry.

Thank you for explaining because there was another site that said it was free and you only got told after you had gone all through loads of preamble that there was a fee.

That is disgraceful, and is playing with people at possibly the most venerable time in their lives.

Most of us on this site are damaged in one form or another, either by events prier to bereavement, or directly or indirectly connected with bereavement, and is why half of us are on antidepressants.

I just came upon the site and thought it would help others, as I have said I am just the messenger :crazy_face:

I hope you found it both informative and useful, and that it helps you on your grief journey.

Thankyou for your comments. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks for repaying but sadly got lots spam popping up when I tried
Just saying it how it is.
Never mind.

Sad fact is spam seems to be a fact of life these days, I will look for a better site, a well researched book on the subject may be better, will let you know if I find anything, enjoy your day.

I have ordered ‘Grief, loss and how to cope’ by Christopher Spriggs.

Apparently it covers the different types of grief and that’s very useful.

Let you know what I think.
