How to Deal with an Untimely Death

This week’s episode we talked about How to Deal with an Untimely Death with Dr. Ron Cohen who is known as the Mindful Psychiatrist. We know how difficult it can be to lose a loved one. He tells us about the shame and guilt men associate that pain with. Men sometimes think that they did something wrong. They agonize over why he wasn’t able to protect the child. Then there is the embarrassment we sometimes feel around other men. That you are not a good father. Dr. Cohen gives us ways to navigate the hurt, shame and guilt of losing a child. Once again communication is important. However, Dr. Cohen says that even when words are not spoken, there is a lot of communication going on. He lets us know that there is no one way to go through grief.
