It is natural to feel overwhelmed with the fact of returning to the daily routine after the death of a loved one. Many people may feel unable to resume their relationship with family, friends and co-workers. Death is an extremely sad event, hard to face, that affects the mourners and causes sadness and a feeling of helplessness. Recovering the illusion for life and everything it represents is fundamental. But: how to achieve it in the midst of so much pain?
As people get older, they lose autonomy in their functions. During the old age there begins a stage of dependence of third parties. Normally, their sons and daughters are those who take care of them and assume many responsibilities that could generate discomfort, fear and sadness.
Life footprint is also known as a vital trace and refers to the connection that the mourners have established with the deceased throughout their lives. The relationship with the loved one that is no longer physically present constitutes a set of shared moments, conversations, perhaps disagreements, joy and sadness. When that person dies it is possible to honor their achievements, advice, teachings and, even more, those aspects with which we do not totally agree through the acceptance of what happened.
A large number of people in the world feel lonely. It may be because they live without another company in their home or because they have lost a loved one.
The daily routine of going to work or school resumes its course after the death of a loved one in about three or four days. This does not mean that we are not in mourning since it is a process that lasts about six months. But the mourners must take back their lives despite the pain they are feeling.
Normally, those who suffer a loss talk about the event with the family and friends, which is a way to ease the pain.
