My husband lost his best friend of ~15 years very unexpectedly this year . The friend was only 25 and died due to drug addiction. A few months later my husbands uncle passed away unexpectedly (to us) as well. This is very helpful to understanding what my husband has been going through , I definitely think his grief was complicated. When some things at his job changed suddenly affecting his daily routine that seemed to impact him more than I’d expect, it makes more sense now.
Excellent presentation!! I know i suffered complicated grief after several different losses over the past 8 yrs. My therapist couldnt figure out why I was struggling so much after my last loss which I lost everthing I owned plus my cat I had for 14 years was stolen by an ex- roommate. Back to back trauma for 8 years was too much! If it wasn't for entensive therapy and seeking out helpful information on RUclips, namely your presentations i wouldn't be where im at today. Thank you Dr. Snipes ❤
Im not a counselor. Just a formerly intelligent active woman who raised 2 sons, work that gratified me, nice home etc. Lost in an isolated complex PTSD and multiple physical illnesses agoraphobia, and lost EVERYTHING! Trying to heal mystery love your very current educated content!❤ fyi, you just keep getting more beautiful over time? 😂thanks for putting this information out there
Thank you for your kind words and for watching the video. I am sorry you lost everything. Other videos you might be interested in can be found at ruclips.net/user/DocSnipessearch?query=PTSD Also, please feel free to use the DocSnipes AI for any questions you may have: ai.docsnipes.com
I am SO SORRY for the loss of your puppy (and any foster animals you have cared for). Loss of our loved furry babies (even fostered fuzzies) weigh incredibly heavily on our hearts and emotions...I still grieve my darlings I have lost from years and years ago. Sending you supportive hugs...and MANY THANKS for being so brave and giving to foster animals in need. XOXOX
FYI...I LOVE that you spoke about Animal, pets...losing a connection with any soul, with anything (if you connect with ALL ENERGY), IS SIGNIFICANTLY sorrowful and leaves one without a mooring, an anchor to rely on. Again, I am talking not only about pets and animals...I believe this can be about people, places and things, as you said...None of these losses are any less than others. Thank you for this. I am listening to this over and over to gain deeper insight into my own sadness and grief.
I would like to see losing children via parental alienation addressed. When children with a previously healthy relationship with their mother become self destructively hateful and dangerous it definitely makes for complicated grief with layers of trauma that bury an increasing number of mothers. I will be looking for your video on narcissistic abuse as that and legal abuse are also involved. Bless you for so generously teaching this.
This was incredibly enlightening...I have moved 11 times in the past 3.5 years. I have had so much Grief and Sadness since 2021...it has only increased the crying the sadness, I also lost a pet during that time plus COVID happened upon our move weekend. I think this was EXACTLY what I needed to hear...I have been constantly questioning my sadness and tears that just come consistently. Thank you for this! Are there therapists who work with clients who have excessive grief around things other than loss of a person or people??? I think I could use some help to process this.
You’re so welcome. I am sorry for the loss of your pet and for experiencing grief and sadness for so song. You can email me at support@allceus.com and I can help you find a therapist in your area. I also offer Individual Consultations at DocSnipes.com.
Ending contact with an abusive family member is a difficult but necessary step for your well-being. Grieving is a personal process, and even though your father is alive, you may still experience a form of grief for the relationship you wished you had or the one you deserved. It's crucial to prioritize your own mental and emotional health, and seeking support from friends, support groups, or therapists can be beneficial during this challenging time.
Thanks for watching the video. It is not uncommon for individuals who are grieving to experience hallucinations of a deceased loved one. These can include hearing the person's voice, seeing their shadow, or sensing their presence. Such experiences are considered a normal part of the grieving process for many people. Hallucinations may occur as the brain processes sensory reminders of the deceased, such as a familiar scent or sound, which can trigger a vivid memory or sensation of the person's presence. Intense grief can lead to heightened psychological distress, which may manifest as hallucinations. The mind, in an attempt to seek comfort or make sense of the loss, might produce these experiences. A mental health professional can assess the nature of the hallucinations and determine whether they are a normal part of grief or a symptom of a more serious condition. Counseling and support groups can provide a space to discuss these experiences and learn coping strategies. In some cases, medication or more intensive therapy may be recommended. It's important for individuals experiencing hallucinations after a loss to seek support and not to go through the process alone. Understanding that these experiences can be a part of the normal grieving process can provide comfort, but professional help can offer guidance and treatment if the hallucinations are part of a more complex grief reaction.

My therapist said to end any contact with my father because he is my abuser. Do I needto grieve him even though he is still alive?
Grief doesn't only have to do with death.
Ending contact with an abusive family member is a difficult but necessary step for your well-being. Grieving is a personal process, and even though your father is alive, you may still experience a form of grief for the relationship you wished you had or the one you deserved. It's crucial to prioritize your own mental and emotional health, and seeking support from friends, support groups, or therapists can be beneficial during this challenging time.

What happens when somebody who has a loss has hallucinations of the death person
