COPING WITH GRIEF How our loved one dies has a powerful effect on how we grieve. If someone we love dies from AIDS, we may experience a wide range of feelings. Many times, the person is young and in the midst of a productive life. For some, the onset of the disease may be sudden. For others, the progress of the disease may take many months, even years. Some people have lost many friends or family members to AIDS in a short span of time. This can make us feel even more vulnerable, helpless and full of rage. Our grief may be mixed with guilt about our own survival and continued good health. The AIDS Coalition of Nova Scotia has trained counsellors who are experienced in helping survivors cope with their feelings of grief. As well, Louis Cassie of the Pastoral Care Department of the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre is prepared to help those who are coping with the loss of a loved one due to AIDS complications. Remember, no matter how deep your sorrow, you are not alone. Others have been there and will help share your load if you will let them. How to contact: E-mail: acns@acns.ns.ca |
