Obviously, we must respect the mourning period but without staying away from the mourners because they could start feeling abandoned, nostalgic or to experience loneliness. A quiet gathering some days after the burial to take a cup of coffee could be the beginning of an encounter with the family and closest friends. At this moment it is very important to know how to listen carefully to the person who faces the mourning because of death, instead of talking too much and also share his pain. It is also important to be patient. The mourner can become very sensible and cry when remembering the loved one who has died or the cause of death. In such case you can hold his hand or embrace him. Most of the time, staying by his side is enough to let him understand you know what he is going through. It is pointless to star looking for an explanation of the event; the ideal is to let the relative of the deceased to express freely. It is vital to remember that in order to help and give support to the person who faces the death of a loved one you must be quiet. Emotions will obviously emerge at any time because we are all human beings, but it is fundamental to bring strength to the mourner and let him know that what he feels is normal and that everything will be right.<\/p>\n<p>As days go by the rest of the family can go back to their normal life and the mourner may require any activity to free his mind. At this stage friends become of real importance to share a moment together which does not include music or dance. It could be just a meeting to talk, going to the movies or a moment to relax in good company. The people who have lost a loved one may refuse to go out at first because they may think they do not deserve a moment of relax after a recent death. So, do not give up if the mourners say no to your first invitation; be patient and do not feel shocked if they show anger; it is normal and they will be okay with time. Just be kind. If the mourner refuses your invitation, just plan it for the following week and wait until he is ready to accompany you.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Instead of waiting a call for help from the person who just lost a loved one we should take the first step.

Por supuesto que se debe respetar el per\u00edodo de duelo, pero sin dejar al doliente solo, pues quiz\u00e1s comience a sentirse abandonado, a experimentar nostalgia o soledad. Una visita calmada luego del entierro para compartir una taza de caf\u00e9 puede ser el inicio de un encuentro con los familiares y amigos m\u00e1s cercanos. En ese momento es importante saber escuchar a quien enfrenta un duelo por muerte, evitar hablar demasiado y compartir su dolor. Por supuesto, es vital ser paciente; el doliente puede tornarse emotivo, llorar al recordar a su ser querido, la causa de la muerte. Puede entonces tomar su mano o darle un abrazo. En ocasiones, permanecer a su lado es suficiente, pues la persona sabr\u00e1 que entiende por lo que est\u00e1 pasando. Buscar una explicaci\u00f3n para lo sucedido es in\u00fatil; lo ideal es permitir que el pariente del fallecido se exprese libremente.<br \/> Es importante recordar que para ayudar y apoyar a quien enfrenta la muerte de un ser amado se debe estar calmado. Por supuesto que las emociones surgir\u00e1n en alg\u00fan momento, pues todos somos humanos, pero lo fundamental es brindarle fortaleza. Hacerle saber que lo que siente en ese momento es normal y que todo estar\u00e1 bien.<br \/> Con el paso del tiempo la familia vuelve a su vida rutinaria y el doliente puede requerir alguna actividad extra para distraerse. Es all\u00ed donde cobran importancia los amigos para compartir una salida que no necesariamente implique m\u00fasica o baile. Puede ser una reuni\u00f3n para conversar, una salida al cine, un momento de relax en buena compa\u00f1\u00eda. Al principio quien acaba de perder aun ser querido puede negarse a salir, pues piensa que no se merece un momento de esparcimiento ante un hecho tan reciente. No se rinda si le dice que no a la primera invitaci\u00f3n, sea paciente y no se asombre si tiene alguna explosi\u00f3n de rabia. Es normal y pasar\u00e1 con el tiempo. Sea amable; si a la primera invitaci\u00f3n el doliente dice que no, reit\u00e9rele la propuesta para la siguiente semana y espere a que est\u00e9 listo.<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/previsionmontevecchio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4618\/"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/previsionmontevecchio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/previsionmontevecchio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post\/"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/previsionmontevecchio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5\/"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/previsionmontevecchio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments\/?post=4618"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/previsionmontevecchio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4618\/revisions\/"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6105,"href":"https:\/\/previsionmontevecchio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4618\/revisions\/6105\/"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/previsionmontevecchio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4331\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/previsionmontevecchio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/?parent=4618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/previsionmontevecchio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/?post=4618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/previsionmontevecchio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags\/?post=4618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
