In a chat with Legit.ng, a mental health expert, Duke Ezikpe Mma, shared how the death of a son could affect the parent.
He said:
"Loss of any kind is not easy to cope with and will always come with trauma. It is like taking a part of you away hence amputation metaphor is use to describe this level of loss were the death of the child feels like a literal part of the parent is being removed, this will lead to profound sense of guilt and shame leading to elevated level of grief for the parent.
"This profound grief will usually affect the parent daily functionality in terms of activity of daily living (ADLs) leading to lack of focus at work, performing daily task such as self-care or even making simple decision. In some extreme cases, can cause some physical symptom such as weak immune system leading to body breakdown."
