With God by my side, I will feel safe and
peaceful.

After experiencing the sorrow, I have realized
what the most important things in life are.
3. Ongoing physical and emotional responses
I think
it’s unfair that my loved one has passed away while I still have to struggle to
survive.
4.
Reassuring faith
Even though
my loved one is no longer alive, I believe that God is always around me and
helps me.
5.
Strongly missing a deceased loved one
I still
miss very much my loved one who has passed away.

disturbance
I still
have unconscious chills when I think of the incident.
