Coping with Grief and Loss with Dr Yousif Haj Yousif

In our short lives it is inevitable that we shall experience the death of our loved ones. Psychologists claim that there are five stages of grief, and for some to come to terms with the death of a partner, son, daughter or close friend may never be reconciled. We hear of many whose hearts are never settled and who live a shadow of their former lives. Many fall into depression as a consequence and others turn to drink and drugs to temporarily release their minds from the reminders associated in everyday life.This week I have invited Dr Yousif Haj Yousif, a consultant anaesthetist who has seen death and its impacts close up. I ask Yousif to help us to contextualise grief, how do we grieve as Muslims? and what are the ideas from Allah (swt) that help to console our hearts.Follow the programme on Twitter @thinking_muslimhttps://twitter.com/thinking_muslimJoin the Thinking Muslim Course - visit thinkingmuslim.eventbrite.co.ukEmail the programme using the email [email protected]
