'Can I Be Traumatized By Grief?' Understanding Bereavement | Psychotherapy Crash Course

In this video, I use some examples from my personal experience to discuss the process of traumatic grief and loss. Traumatic grief is a field of study in and of itself. Although research is limited on this topic, the current research we have demonstrates the emotional and psychological challenges those in grief face. Research suggests that ongoing difficulties are common for those who have experienced a traumatic loss. According to the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, children who have experienced a traumatic loss can have ongoing difficulties that can become childhood trauma and impact them for years to come.

For adults who have experienced a traumatic loss, post traumatic stress disorder, acute and chronic stress disorder, as well as complicated grief can result. I will be talking about these topics moving forward for the month of June.

I welcome your comments and questions!

Wow, it's been 5 years since a lost my grandmother in a similar way, also in April. I was here looking for resources to help me on this journey and came upon your video. My condolences, wishing you more peace than pain. Everything you described I've been through and/or still going through.

I'm very sorry for the loss of your Grandmother, Tamara. I lost my Father very suddenly, it was very traumatic, I just couldn't work my way through the loss of him. It was 2 years before I was diagnosed that I had PTSD. It was the most horrible thing I've ever been through. I've worked my way through some of the issues, however, it has never truly left me, I live with it still. I had flashbacks of his death like you described as well. Most people don't understand what you go through. Thank you for this video, it really hit home with me.

Greetings Tamara. Thank you for sharing information. My Mom died in a car accident in 2015. Her death plus battling with the judicial system has complicated my grief process. Your video is very enlightening. Thank you kindly.

[CatsNoKids]

I’m so glad I found your channel. I thought I was alone in my grief.

[beyondtawhito]

Your work is always on point
The joy for me is to actually live on the land of my late mom's mother none of my grandmother's (1916 - 1949) descendants have ever lived on her land shares since her passing, over the decades right up to the present, homelessness, emergency housing needs to be researched about when it actually started in this country (nz) communication is about to start regarding this journey and process that hasn't been laid out yet.

As i have shared, i recently lost my dad. Yes, intrusive thoughts, sounds, and the visuals are there. Even more, the emotions of that experience. Mostly, at work or around others, am able to refocus on the current. But, driving. Gardening. Exercising, cleaning, or resting, i allow myself to cry or Express/face that sorrow, longing, grief. I don't think hiding from it, allowing it to backup, is good. I already have a history of cptsd. I feel this is a complicated and prolonging lose for me. I was his care giver for 12 years. Before that i was mom's caregive for 14yrs. I have been a caregiver so very long. I have lost myself in that process so now, i need to start over, and figure out who i am at age 60ish. Never been married and no kids. Its overwhelming.

[truthutoda]

Thank you for this vulnerability. It really projects strength.

I lost my son one month after learning he had cancer. The following year would be my mother who also had cancer but died unexpectedly. In the mix is my grandfather and also an aunt that was murdered by her new husband. My stepfather turned, did some unthinkable things towards me and my brother so there are issues there as well and being in a toxic relationship relationship with an earful person. Do people ever heal from this amount of hurt?

[russellstone]

At 17 yrs old, my mother tried to give my away, at 18 she abandoned the household, at 19 yrs of age, my father passed away, in may 20s, my brother was killed in a car accident, in my 30s, then my mother passed, in my 40s, my sister, now i'm 55 yrs old and my nephew passed, yes it's traumatizing.

I lost my mum 5years ago, she battled with stroke for 10years and on the 9th year she was diagnosed with cancer😥 I lost my teen stage due to her sickness because I have to be responsible n take responsibilities and be useful to my family as well... The day I was supposed to travel for an exam, she died in d early hours of d day n I watched her die. Its not been easy for me, I try to pretend daily that I'm okay but honestly I'm not n it breaks my heart, I still have flash backs and I cry myself to bed most times. I really do need help cos I feel lost.
