In reviewing the text on coping with stress there seems to be a very long list of ways that people can, and do, deal with stressful situations. Anywhere from avoidance to confrontation to everything in between. Coping is something that some people take years to do. Whether it is a loss of a loved one or being abused as a child. Everyone dose not cope the some way, some people it only take a short while well others go one for years and some never learn to cope.
For coping from a lost loved one or friend I find that it is best to think of it as, they wouldn’t want you to be upset or hurt. They would rather you be happy and to remember all the good time and the good things they did.
For abuse I believe that the first step is to forgiving or accepting that there was nothing you could have done and that they are the ones that are wrong. Not necessarily forgiving a person to there face, It could be forgiving someone only to yourself.
