Use this list of signs to give you a heads up that you might require extra assistance with your grief: 
  • Hallucinations/Voices - Sometimes it’s comforting to imagine that the deceased is still with you, but it is a cause for worry if you are hearing voices or seeing things that aren’t there beyond imagination. 

  • Escapism - Avoiding dealing with your grief buy staying busy is not going to solve anything in the long run. Your emotions will always catch up to you, so it’s much better to face them head on even if you need to do so with a little help. 

  • Inability to Do Daily Activities - If you aren’t able to do your normal activities like go to work or school, or even eat or sleep, it’s time to seek additional care.

  • Inability to Move On - There is no timeline for grief and loss , but not being able to move on by yourself is OK. 

  • Loss of Enjoyment - You shouldn’t stop doing the things you love to do while grieving. You’re still allowed pursuing activities that you enjoy or take part in the things you normally would. If you find it difficult to do so, you may just require some extra help.
