When we lose people close to us it is natural to grieve. <\/p>\n
Anger can often be a part of the grief process we travel through. <\/p>\n
\nAnger<\/strong> is an emotion characterized by antagonism toward someone or something you feel has deliberately done you wrong. <\/p>\n
Encyclopaedia of Psychology<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Anger in some cases may be directed at people we believe are in some way to cause for the death or to have not handled matters following the death as we perceive they should have done. In some cases, anger may be directed at anything and everything. The person experiencing the anger can feel wronged and righteous in the way they then deal with others.<\/p>\n
When it leads to an obsessive and organized agenda of hate and revenge, anger is not healthy. At times, the anger may be directed at one target and then may expand or shift to others.<\/p>\n
When anger gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall quality of your life.<\/p>\n
A Native American elder, it is said, was telling his grandson<\/p>\n
about his feelings following a recent loss. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cI feel as if I have two wolves fighting within me: one is hateful and vengeful, the other is loving and compassionate<\/em>,\u201d he told his grandson. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhich one will win?<\/i>\u201d the grandson asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe one I feed,\u201d<\/i> the grandfather replied.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The challenge when we experience anger in grief is to feel the anger, while not allowing the anger \u2013 or any desire for revenge – to consume us. <\/p>\n
Recognising that the depth of emotion and discomfort we experience, and the possible fracturing of relationships, is based in anger and driven by grief is the first step to dealing with those feelings in a more constructive and positive way \u2026 and that will enable us to move through and deal with the loss and displacement at our own pace.<\/p>\n
Often, however, the person with the anger fails to recognise it whilst those around them have to deal with the consequences. <\/p>\n
Yes, this post is a little left of centre for me and this blog. A family issue prompted it. The sad part is that many families struggle with this pain at the point of loss, and it often last years – even lifetimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
