So tuve una llamada el miércoles que mi abuelita ya iba a fallecer Samie fui con mi familia a verlos y había mucha mucho llorando y yo estaba observando como The Grieving Process Was y cómo pude ayudar mucho con mi familia, pero cuando regresé a mi rutina de repente alguien me tocó cuando llegue en el gimnasio y no puedo definir qué pasó nomás en ti que no era una buena vibra y como yo venía de allá, ni sé en qué estado estaba yo, pero sí, sé que su intención del muchacho que se acercó, no era
Frequently Asked Questions
Sentir el duelo a flor de piel, como explican Lena y Nia, es una sensación de vulnerabilidad extrema donde los estímulos externos, como el ruido o el contacto físico, se perciben con mayor intensidad. Es un estado donde las defensas emocionales están bajas tras un evento agotador, haciendo que la persona se sienta desprotegida ante el mundo exterior y situaciones cotidianas e impersonales.
Durante el proceso de adaptación del duelo, el sistema nervioso se encuentra en alerta máxima y los niveles de cortisol se elevan considerablemente. Según Nia, esta respuesta fisiológica provoca que la capacidad de filtrar estímulos externos se evapore, lo que explica por qué el dolor no es solo una emoción mental, sino una sacudida física que altera la percepción de la realidad y el entorno.
La duda sobre la propia percepción es común debido al choque de realidades entre la intimidad del dolor familiar y el mundo impersonal. Lena menciona que la vulnerabilidad emocional puede hacer que cuestionemos si estamos percibiendo correctamente las intenciones de los demás o si nuestro estado interno está distorsionando la realidad, lo cual es una parte natural de la gestión del dolor y la salud mental.
