Three hidden dangers while navigating your grief journey.
These 3 dangers are coping mechanisms that our brain uses to deal with extraordinary grief. Your brain is trying to protect you from painful thoughts and emotions. You are not going crazy.
- The emotional fog of grief can cause a disruption of attention and clarity of thought. When I think back at the year following my mother’s death, I can clearly see how my thinking was impaired and how I put myself in danger because I wasn’t paying attention to the signs around me.
I had purchased a condo and adopted a dog from the SPCA. Every day I would take my dog to the local park.
Soon I was connecting with other dog owners. Among this group, there was a strange man. I was completely unaware that he was stalking me.
When I returned from a trip to Japan, I found a note which read: “Next time I will not fail.” The strange man had been monitoring my activities. I am sure he meant to harm me.
Because I had been living in an emotional fog, I hadn’t been paying attention to the people around me. Fortunately, I wasn’t harmed.
- Grief increases the risk for falls and accidents due to moments of loss of awareness. That same year I had 2 minor fender benders and then 1 major accident on St. Patrick’s where my car was totaled!
At the time, I did not correlate the accidents with the fact that my subconscious mind was helping me by keeping me dissociated.
- And finally, grief can lead to dissociation that can cause a person to be severely detached from the people in their life.
When I finally started the process of grieving my mother’s death, I realized how I had become emotionally numb. Now I could see clearly why I married the man I did. He was also emotionally unavailable, so I didn’t have to worry about being vulnerable and having to connect with someone.
