These are some of the alterations that arise before an episode of normal mourning. However, it should be noted that when someone close to the whole belief system of the person is collapsed and, sometimes it is believed that the person does not cry for the deceased, but because of the fear he feels of having been left alone and helpless , homeless or abandoned in a hostile world.

This occurs because goodness in life becomes a fantasy that disappears abruptly and reality is cruel.

When a bond is lost the entire belief system of a person also falls, and with it everything that previously allowed to live with optimism, even if it was a world full of dangers.

Everything staggers and the absolute values ​​in which person took refuge are insufficient, such as social justice, the existence of a God, the infallibility of medicine, among others.

Especially, in Western culture the learning that predominates is that everything can be analyzed and understood from logical reasoning. However, the person who is suddenly suffers an event for which he is not prepared and is incomprehensible.

Is when he begins to try to make use of the tools that have been taught. For example, The laws of logic indicate that everything happens by causality, that is, from a fact certain consequences are derived.

But, the mourner only sees the consequences, that is, the loss of the person with whom he was linked, so, at least initially, it is not enough to understand the disease or the causes of the event so that his restlessness ceases.
