How to deal with grief: A lesson from Sesame Street

  • Want to help Oklahoma City? Here's how
Many years ago, our beloved PBS mainstay, Sesame Street, lost a beloved character, Mr. Hooper. And with that loss, they gained an opportunity to teach Big Bird—and their young audience—about death and dealing with loss.

 

In light of the tragedy in Newtown, Conn., last Friday, we think this a particularly timely video to watch and share with friends and siblings. Take a look, and tell us how you handle grief in the comments…

My dog died recently... he was only 2 years old. I came home from school and within 3 hours he died... I only got to see him for ten minutes and he looked like he was in so much pain... I still cry, but to make myself feel better, I got one of his un-ruined toys and I sleep with it EVERY night. I don't think there was a night I haven't slept with his toy. It makes me feel better.

moddddddddd
im going to be super sad during the summer because all of my besties are going to colorado together for the whole summer but ill be bored here at my house until i go on vacation for 3 weeks on an island with NO INTERNET! im gonna be depressed. have any tips of things i can do during the summer that will help me not be depressed and have fun? thank you sooooo much! <3

 

Hey! try something new this summer, you'll be surprised how stimulating it can be. If you think you're terrible at drawing, get a sketchpad and take trips to the park with it. If you're not into exercise try walking each morning and try to build that up to a daily jog. It'll keep your mind engaged and off sad feelings about your friends, trust me Smile http://www.girlslife.com/RockYourWeekend.aspx

My great-grandmother died sunday night. I was really close with her and I miss her a lot. But I'm staying strong like she always did. She lived without her husband for 8 years. She's an inspiration.

Remember: If life had no ups and downs, there would be no life.To prove it, just look at a heart monitor from a hospital. The best we can do is just accept that life is not perfect and that's the way it's supposed to be. Everything has an ending, but don't make someone else's sad. Remember them for their happiness, jokes, and laughter.They will always be watching over you.

Sometimes you have grief, just remember:
YOLO
You
Only
Live
Once
Live your life and don't let grief hold you back. Feel the pain and then let in the light.

My cousins died when they were very little. My baby cousin Aidan died when he was only 3 days old. Frown And Andrew died when he was 2 but it was 10 days before he turned 3. They both had their whole lives ahead of them. I never met Aidan. I went to his funeral and only saw him in his shoebox coffin. It was literally a white shoebox. So dealing with little kids and adults dying I know how it feels.

i actually almost cried...this really helped me to deal with greif. Here's how i cope
1. I remember all the good times i had with them to make me smile
2. i appreciate what a good person they were and how they made the world and my life brighter place and time.
3. i am lucky just to have gotten to meet them and be able to know them while they were here
4. i let go,there time here is done, but theres a whole wide world of freindly people and faces just waiting for me to meet them. when i go i hope to be able to be remembered just like this.people dont die, they go away for a while...thats just the way things are. life is all just a big cycle of joy and rememberance. were here to make others happy and bring smiles to the world. the point is...make your mark on the world while your here before your cycle is up...because time is ticking...some have shorter time than others so on your mark, get set, LIVE! and youll be happy that you did.
~MAKE YOUR MARK~

I handle grief by pushing the thought of it away until I become numb to the pain and I can think about it without feeling anything anymore.

My friend and her mom died in September in an accident, and I just didn't understand why. Why people have to go, and why they can't come back. I know, I sound like a little kid, but if you've ever lost someone you know, you might understand. I couldn't believe it for a long time.
