Hello,
It is a natural human phenomenon to feel grieved on hearing some bad news, unnatural event, disease or death. Sensitive people are affected more but that is normal. Getting
cold, insensitive, un- empathetic or rude towards others is not a normal human attitude or nature. Worldwide deaths have increased in recent times and that's not easy for anyone of us to cope with but we have so much responsibilities to do, so much challenges to face during our day-to-day life that we have to absorb all that and walk ahead with time.
Since you are a sensitive person learn to cope with grief, do not let it overtake you. Interact with people, do not avoid social gatherings. Do regular exercising like walking, stretch exercises. Take care of your hygiene. Give yourself time to relax, take at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night. Stay adequately hydrated. You can endeavor into new skill, such as taking a cooking class, gardening, reading good books, singing, learning piano, joining a book club, calling or seeing friends or loved ones who can offer support, making new friends, etc.
Do let grief throw you into
depression. Stay away from addictions if any. You can take the help of a mental health provider who specializes in grief. This therapist could suggest several treatment options, like
talk therapy, medication, or both. These treatments can help you process the feeling of loss and manage your grief.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
