The Benefits of Exercise and Social Connections in Grief Recovery
Studies on various groups such as war victims, disaster responders, breast cancer survivors, and the bereaved have shown that engaging in social activities and exercise aids in grief recovery more effectively than therapy. While some may require extra support, the default approach should involve socializing, engaging in charitable activities, and physical exercise as they contribute significantly to feeling better. Notably, exercise has been found to be more beneficial than therapy and psychiatric medications, with recent studies comparing its effectiveness to SSRIs. Prioritizing exercise and social connections in grief recovery is crucial for holistic well-being.
