Have you ever been intrigued at how people with different personalities express their grief? How do caretakers take care of themselves after a loved one with a health crisis passes away? Grief is something that can be as personal and unique as our own DNA.

Sometimes, after a family member dies, other loved ones cause relational duress. How are you supposed to settle stressful situations as you work through your own grief?

If you want to know more about grief support for different personality types, then listen to this episode of Forever in their Hearts, where host Erik Reynolds discusses the topic with Valerie Martell, Director of Operations for Martin Brothers Funeral Services.

A person’s unique personality type affects so much of their life - including grief. This interview is a chance to learn how to respect and support others as they work through unique ways of grieving.

Understanding the Grieving Styles of Others

Valerie kicks off the episode by addressing how to understand the grieving styles of others when it seems like each person needs a different type of support.

Then Valerie harkens to her professional experiences working in a funeral home in Vancouver to share examples of different family dynamics to illustrate potential situations which might happen during any stage of the memorial or funeral service.

Each person grieves differently, even for the same loss. During this episode you’ll learn what you should keep in mind about what people display when they are grieving a loved one lost.

Tips for Dealing with Relational Duress

Next Valerie switches gears and offers practical advice for dealing with family-related stress after a death in the family, which may even happen at the funeral chapel. You’ll hear answers to questions like:

- What do people really need when they cause upsetting situations?
- How long will someone’s grief last after losing a family member?
- What is something families can do to help heal this type of grief?

Now ask yourself these two things: Do I want to know more about grief support for different personality types? Could I use knowledge about self-care for surviving spouses after caring for someone in a health crisis?

If you answered “yes” to either or both of these questions, then listen to the podcast. If you have other questions, then please ask them in the comments area below or call Martin Brothers to speak with someone.

Help for Surviving Spouses

Then Valerie segues to the topic of self-care surviving spouses. Sometimes after nurturing someone with a health crisis, grief can take over the basic needs of loved ones in mourning.

Valerie offers a solution that, she admits, sounds easier than it really is. She shares the immediate emotions we have to work through during the stages of grief as well as what comes later.

The spouse left behind may feel like they’re on an emotional roller coaster. This is normal during the transition between caring for someone else and reinvesting in their own existence.

The interview concludes with Valerie sharing her final thoughts about some benefits of moving through grief in your own way to keep close the love and memories of the person you’ve lost.
