Meanwhile, the Malaysian Mental Health Association Deputy President Dr Andrew Mohanraj said coping with such loss is a deeply personal experience for the families and no one can truly understand what they are going through now. "However, now after the announcement, relatives and close friends are in a better position to help them through the grief process," said Mohanraj who is also a consultant psychiatrist, in a statement here Friday, He said death can be very difficult to accept, but prolonged grief can take a toll on the psychological state of family members, and loved ones can suffer from depression in the long run. "This emotions of grief can be complicated and unnecessarily extended if families are preoccupied with various conspiracy theories that have now been debunked," he said. "Acceptance, which is the final phase of grief, may be the bravest thing to do," he added. -- BERNAMA
