The title of this Blog post is the second question in my series of six questions.

The answer:

You can know what healthy grief is by knowing what it is not!

Healthy grief is not prolonged, chronic, nor inhibited, and does not include: severe guilt, persistent thoughts of suicide nor a preoccupation with dying, a sense of worthlessness, prolonged insomnia, excessive anxiety…

And in healthy grief you can go through a period of believing you can see or hear your beloved…it doesn’t mean you are losing it! It’s only time to be concerned when the period of hallucinations is prolonged.

Healthy grief is a process that involves the physical, social, spiritual and psychological aspects of a person’s life.
