Key Points
When one no longer reacts to triggers with an intense fight-or-flight response, one can consider healing to have begun..
The one thing that stands out about Millennials and Gen Z (roughly those aged 11 to 42 today) is that they have learned to walk with grief, using whatever means they have, says life coach Chetna Chakravarthy..
I just find it hard to say my feeling to people and so social media was easier because I didnt need to actually tell people face to face how I felt [] it was easier to post because you are behind a screen type thing, as one participant put it..
Interestingly, most of the respondents also said that they posted online about a death as a way to preserve a bond with the deceased person, through pictures, memories and videos all of which mirror traditional memorial practices..
When you move from feeling the numbing pain of loss to being able to celebrate the life of the deceased, for the first time, Chakravarthy says, you can count that as a key triumph..
