Grief

“My father died a little less than a year ago. My friends here at school were very supportive when it happened and for a time afterwards. My professors were also understanding at the time and I was able to finish that semester. But now I watch as everyone else is moving on and I am still struggling.

There are still a couple of holidays that I will have to deal with for the first time without my father there. I do not know what I am going to feel during my first Family Weekend here without my father. I do not want to burden my friends by telling them how I feel but I also am somewhat jealous of them because they seem so carefree. And sometimes when I hear others start complaining about too much work and not getting the highest grade I get pretty annoyed that they are getting upset by such little things.
It would help if somebody, anybody would just understand what I am going through.”
These are common reactions of students who are trying to move on with their lives while grieving the loss of someone close to them. Grief is a natural physiological and emotional process that occurs in reaction to a significant personal loss. While grief is highly individualized, it is an ongoing process that changes over time but has no pre-determined end point. After a while, even your friends forget you may be mourning. It is not uncommon for grieving students to feel isolated and unsupported.
Grief is a time of suffering. It also can be a time of personal reorganization and growth. The Office of Behavioral Health for Students can be a resource for grieving students.
Use our consultation service as a safe and comfortable place to talk with someone about your loss and maybe get some ideas about how to best take care of yourself during this time.
Or you might want to drop in and check out the Peer Grief Support Group that is sponsored by OBHS and which meets once a week throughout the academic year. Come sit and talk with other students who have at least one thing in common, that is, experiencing the loss of a loved one. Come once, twice, a few times or regularly just to be with others who do understand what you are going through.

Call 685-2910 for all services offered by OBHS.
