Tom & Tim Grief and Mental Health
Manage episode 296148455 series 2876775
Grief is something we all endure and face at some point in our lives and we all have our own way of processing all those emotions.
All though there are 7 stages of grieving, there is nothing that says that you have to do them in order and in fact, there is nothing that says how long you need or should spend on each stage. It's all on you and how you feel when you are ready to begin your healing journey. Some people just don't understand the power that grieving can have on you not just mentally but also physically and how it just slowly deteriorates you if you let it.
There is a major difference in how we deal with the passing of one of our brothers during combat to when we lose someone back home stateside. The key difference is that you have no time to even recognize that there are stages of grief, you might hit one and that's anger and you hope that eventually, you can work through it all.
Tim and I speak about the people we have lost from very close relatives that meant the world to us to our brothers during our service in the Army. We touch on how we dealt with those losses, are dealing with them today, and how we remember and honor them today in our everyday life.
