We experience a variety of emotions from our infancy until our passing. One of the emotions difficult to come to terms with is grief. We can grieve the loss of a close family member or friend, the loss of a job or home. The loss of anything important to us is a grief trigger. So imagine the grief and the emotions stemming from this, women with hair loss experience. Flick through any womens' magazine and you will find full-page advertisements for hair products. Often these advertisements feature attractive women with their long tresses gleaming under the light. They often feature the women next to a handsome man or in luxurious surroundings giving an impression to the reader one must have beautiful hair in order to attract a partner or be successful in life. The initial discovery hair loss is occurring can be a shock. One looks at the lost strands on their pillowcase or tangled in their hairbrush or comb. Is it mine? It cannot be! Disbelief and denial send them checking and re-checking the mirror to determine if this is indeed true and is really happening to them. Many tears can be shed as these women begin the mourning of their loss. This is not only their hair loss they are grieving for but the changes to their life their loss has created or aspects of their life they believe will be altered. The grieve for the physical change to their body and their look. Will my partner or husband still find me attractive?
Will people point or stare at me when I am in public?
What will my friends and family say? Some women may take to covering their head with a hat or scarf in the vain hope their problem will go away or as a quick fix. Others will withdraw from social activities to save their embarrassment or because of fear of ridicule. When women come to the realisation their problem is not going to be fixed overnight they start seeking a realistic answer to their hair loss. This can be by searching for products or treatments available to them or by seeking medical advice. To those whose baldness is permanent, many will come to an acceptance of their change of appearance and move forward baring their head proudly to the world. Others will continually search for an answer or option to restore their loss and as a result will take longer to emerge from their grief.About the Author:
