Don’t add to the grief of the grieving, say therapists

KUALA LUMPUR: The return of the remains of those on MH17 does not mean that there is full closure for their families, relatives and friends, say therapists.

“Closure and grieving is individual. Putting your loved one to rest is not necessarily the end of your grieving,” said psychologist Dr Anasuya Jegathevi Jegathesan, who specialises in thanatology (the science of death).
