LIFE AFTER LOSS tells the story of how people dealing with the loss of someone they love. Dealing with a significant loss can be one of the most difficult times in a person's life. Each one of us has an individual style of coping with painful times. 
 
Loss is an inevitable part of life. When a loss occurs, most of us are unprepared for how to handle it, especially if we have never had to deal with it before. Even if we have, it is still traumatic each time. 
 
For many of us the death of a close family member is a significant loss and creates a variety of changes for us as individuals and for the rest of the family. Feelings may be complicated and no right or wrong way of coping with loss. 
 
The feelings we experience on these occasions can be surprising or even frightening. Confusing and sometimes contradictory thoughts can emerge when least expected and can cause great distress. We may think we hear, see or even smell the person we have lost, even sometimes this may lead us to question our sanity at times.
 
For many people the death of a close family member means they will have to cope with the reactions and questions of children as well as their own grief. Children's questions can be difficult and painful to answer but they usually cope better with the truth as far as their age and experience will allow. 
A death in the family can bring people together but it can also create tensions and stains, such as the reawakening of rivalry between siblings. Some families are able to support one another but there may be individual members who are unwilling or unable to share their feelings or to compromise. 
 
The person will never be forgotten BUT eventually you will be able to look back on happy memories, and embark on a new – and often different – way of life.
