Episode 11: Loss and its Impact On Extended Family and Friendships
Hey listeners, welcome to Episode 11 of The When Life Stops podcast, a show where we talk about all this loss, grief and recovery and our aim is to equip you so you can move forward and find new meaning to life.
On this episode, we dive into the impact of loss and its impact on extended family and friendships.
We share our experiences of the impact our losses had on our extended families and also friends and even work colleagues.
We discussed how a death in a family can lead to a roller coaster of emotions, alongside the pressure to make important decisions, so tempers may flare, hurtful things might be said and relationships even those that were once beautiful might suffer.
So if you are aware of this, you can deal with each other with more understanding.
We shared a few tips on how to deal effectively with extended family members.
We talked about experiencing disappointment in some of our friendships yet at the same time we discovered new friendships.
We explored some of the typical expressions of how grief changes friendships. We expressed that after a loss you are not the same person. Loss changes you and without friends who are empathetic and patient, you would feel lonely and isolated.
We then discussed how you can stay friendly. We also shared tips for a friend to show support for a friend who has experienced loss:
