　　About a year after his death, when Ms. Aikman felt it was time to start rebuilding her life, sheattended a widows support group meeting. She arrived and found a tissue box on each chair,she recalls. The group leader talked about the five stages of grief, each woman described herhusband's death and everyone cried.

如何应对悲伤

学习啦在线学习网贝姬・艾克曼(Becky Aikman)说，10年前丈夫患癌去世时，她经历了悲痛，后来也适应了丈夫的逝去――不过她的适应方式似乎不像有些人期待的那样。

　　事后艾克曼与小组组长谈了谈。她指出，既然这个小组的名称为“失去亲人后继续前行，难道我们不能把注意力放在未来或往前看吗?”后者的回应是，他觉得她不适合该小组，让她以后不要再去了。

　　'There is an expectation that a proper widow maintains this cliche of Our Lady of PerpetualSorrow,' says Ms. Aikman, now 58 and living in Brooklyn, N.Y. 'She doesn't go out, doesn'tlaugh, doesn't date. The idea is that you have to do a penance almost, for years.'

　　在心理学家伊丽莎白・库布勒-罗斯(Elizabeth Kubler-Ross)1969年的著作《论死亡和濒临死亡》(OnDeath and Dying)面世近50年后，悲伤过程依然被广泛理解为分成五个阶段出现――否定、愤怒、讨价还价、沮丧和接受。

　　But in recent years researchers and experts have found little evidence that these stages exist.People who bounce back after a death, divorce or other traumatic loss often don't follow thissequence. Instead, many of them strive to actively move forward.

　　'The traditional model of bereavement is that there is work to do,' says George Bonanno, agrief researcher and professor of clinical psychology at Columbia University's Teachers College,and the author of 'The Other Side of Sadness.' 'There has never really been any evidence forthat.'

　　哥伦比亚大学(Columbia University)教育学院悲伤问题研究者、临床心理学教授乔治・博南诺(GeorgeBonanno)说：“按照传统模式，失去亲人后你要做很多事来解脱，实际上从来没有任何证据证明这一点。”博南诺博士也是《悲伤的另一面》(The Other Side of Sadness)一书的作者。

But in a 2002 study of older men and women whohad lost spouses, Dr. Bonanno found that in 50% of the participants, the main symptoms ofgrief -- shock, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, depression -- had lifted within six months. 'Themajority of people can function pretty soon afterward,' he says.

　　当然，每个人的悲伤都是独特的。但在2002年一项针对失去配偶的年龄较大男女的研究中，博南诺博士发现，在50%的受试者中，悲伤的主要症状――震惊、焦虑、侵入性想法和抑郁――在六个月内消散了。他说：“事后大多数人都能很快恢复正常。”

　　Instead of five stages, Dr. Bonanno compares grief to a swinging pendulum. People get veryupset and then feel better -- over and over again. A person may be crying and then suddenlylaugh at a funny joke or memory. In time, the periods between pendulum swings get longerand gradually the pain subsides.

　　博南诺博士没有将悲伤与五个阶段联系在一起，而是将它比作摇晃的钟摆。人们变得非常难过，然后又感觉好一些――如此周而复始。一个人可能会哭着哭着，突然因为一个有趣的笑话或回忆而大笑起来。随着时间的流逝，钟摆摆动的间隔变得更长，慢慢地痛苦就平息了。

　　People often feel guilty about moving on, says Camille Wortman, professor of social and healthpsychology at Stony Brook University, in New York, whose research focuses on grief. 'This iswhy it doesn't work to just try and feel better,' she says.

　　It's important to ask yourself, 'What matters most in my life at this time?' Dr. Wortman says,and then focus on the answer. It might be your children, your health, your job or a passion formusic or art. 'Stay in touch with your values,' she says. 'This can activate positive emotion,which provides a respite from grief.'

Mr. Govoni had two small children and ademanding job as a supervisory analyst. 'Languishing in that valley wasn't a viable option, soI just soldiered on,' he says.

　　史蒂夫・戈沃尼(Steve Govoni)有过两次丧偶经历。在第一任妻子于1998年去世后，他读了些书，讲述的是经历悲伤的各阶段就像像慢慢爬出山谷。当时他的两个孩子年龄尚小，而且他从事的管理分析师工作要求很严苛。他说：“在那个山谷中煎熬不是个可行的办法，所以我就选择了直面困难。”

　　In time, he met a wonderful woman and remarried. Then last March, his second wife died afteran 18-month battle with cancer. This time, Mr. Govoni decided to tackle his grief head-on. Helooked up old friends, took his son to Rangers games on his visits home from college andworked on enlarging his wife's gardens. He took his daughter to Broadway plays andvolunteered as the photographer for her high-school drama productions.

　　后来，他遇到了一位非常不错的女子，再次走进了婚姻。去年3月，在与癌症搏斗了18个月后，他的第二任妻子也离世了。这一次，戈沃尼决定正面应对自己的悲伤。他去看望老朋友，带大学放假回家的儿子去玩游骑兵游戏并动手扩建妻子的花园。他还带女儿去百老汇看戏剧，并自告奋勇充当女儿高中戏剧作品的摄影师。

She found out that grief doesn't go in stages, but in waves. 'So I learned that thisfeeling of taking two steps forward and one step back was normal,' she says.

　　在丈夫去世之时，艾克曼是一名新闻记者。她利用自己的新闻技能来发掘出度过悲伤的更好方法，并产生了或许还能写本书的想法。她发现悲痛并不是分阶段展开的，而是一阵阵出现的。她说：“这样一来我了解到进两步退一步的这种感觉是正常的。”

　　She wondered: Why not form a support group of her own? She put out the word and foundfive other women who had been widowed between six months and two years. They planned tomeet once a month on a Saturday night, emotionally the toughest night of the week, Ms.Aikman says. After their first meeting, the women made plans to try new activities togetherinstead of sitting around talking about loss. 'We needed to change if we wanted to be happy.'Ms. Aikman says.

Their grand finale wasa trip to Morocco.

　　她们参加了一门烹饪课;策划参观了大都会艺术博物馆，欣赏以复苏与新生为主题的作品;在温泉疗养地度周末;一起购买女士内衣;帮助一名小组成员搬进新家;在丧亲儿童露营活动中担任自愿者;还请来几名丧偶男性比较各自的经历。最后她们以一趟摩洛哥之旅给互助小组画上了句号。

　　Ms. Aikman eventually wrote a book about the women and their friendships; 'Saturday NightWidows' came out last year. Ms. Aikman says she has heard from hundreds of people who arerelieved to learn their grieving process wasn't strange even though it doesn't fit thestereotype. Many people said they'd been inspired to try something new -- getting a dog,taking a trip, buying a car. One woman went to a jazz club alone, another learned tosnowboard. Quite a few decided to form their own support groups.

　　艾克曼说：“如果你想开心起来，你得成长并做出改变。促使自己寻求新体验是实现这个目的的途径。”
