Positivity is an important component to me and something I think
about often. With two bits of bad news recently reveled in my life, the
concept of positivity yet again is in my thoughts.
In the
situation of death, I always act as the rock for my family. I feel it is
important to be there when a person needs to talk through their
thoughts and feelings. I don't think there is anything wrong with crying
together, it shows support and non-judgement. I also believe in
bringing the person back to a happier time. So, talk through the pain,
but then move to happy memories. This is why I think that funerals focus
on celebrating that person's life and their accomplishments. Negative
comments on a sore subject during an already sensitive emotional state
does not make the person feel better. It is like putting salt on an open
wound, and nobody wants that. However, introducing positivity,
especially during a sensitive emotional state, lightens the situation,
and even a small smile or laugh is medicine for feeling better.
