Few are able to notice wellbeing needs when on a grief journey. Fewer still ask for help. And so little help available. No reason though that you should wallow in pain. Seek help if you so need.
At times i feel that in earlier days of 'joint family system' and 'community living' there used to be an auto mechanism of grief sharing & wellbeing support. Even the words like depression/stress/mental health etc. were never heard of in earlier times. Now with the advent of nuclear families/rat race for material things, these words are getting associated with every household/individual.
Fading away of family eco-systems does indeed weaken wellbeing support systems.
That said, the matter is complex and multi-layered, needing deep exploration, and urgent attention, given how things are now with compact family systems becoming the norm of the day.
Many thanks Suresh Ji. Please share forward to those on grief journey, and grief & wellbeing practitioners. Look forward to your continued engagement here.
Very touching....as always.

You raise a valid point.

Absolutely right ma'am. I totally agree.
Wonderful as usual Neenaji. A heart touching narration with beautiful quotes.
