There are certain things feeling that you go through when trying to heal or when dealing with the death of a loved one. Below is a list of some of the most promonent ones – By reading these I hope you will be more aware and will be able to know how to handle each phase.

Disbelief

One of the first emotions to hit soon after receiving bad news is disbelief. This is especially true when you have just been talking to your boyfriend a few moments ago. This feeling may take a while to subside. In most occasions it lasts up to the day of the funeral.

Shock

Seeing or hearing news about the death can be quite shocking. It could be at the morgue or at the memorial service. Being shocked is an inevitable feeling after reality strikes. Shock is temporary, in no time the feeling goes away.

Anger

Anger comes in different forms i.e. you can be angry at yourself, the world or the person who was there when your boyfriend died. One thing I must warn you about is that it can get destructive. Guide your words, thoughts and actions at this time. Look into the internet for some daily words of encouragement to get you through the day when you feel like venting.

Pain

Now this is the feeling that lasts. It calls for some consistent exposure to words of encouragement. Pain is really a nasty feeling. I mean it just sticks in there and does not seem to ever end. Believe me it goes away. Memories never go away, yes but the heart ache stops at some point.

Another feeling that is attached to pain is helplessness and also regret. You may feel nothing will ever take away the pain or regret not telling your boyfriend certain things.
