Jennifer+Kim+Charlie+Fineman

Charlie has been suffering from the loss of his family he loved the most. Because it was too painful just by the thought, he started to isolate himself from his original lifestyle and avoided to admit the fact that his family was not around him anymore. This behavior seems to be derived from the great sorrow and depression from the sudden change in his life. On top of the misery, he was guilty that he could not talk long on the last talk with his wife. He tends to hang to the past too long and tortured himself of the thoughts and finally reached a point where he does not want to think about it at all and avoiding the situation. If I were Charlie’s friend, I would help him to move on from the past through other interests he can find so that his new life can replace the time and memory with his family. I also want to let him get rid of the pressure he gives on himself that he was not responsible enough to his family. Through the movie we can see that Charlie was the best father and husband he could be and by telling Charlie how good he was and how his family was happy because of him will help him be out of the guilt. To be more specific, he could be treated from playing new sports, meeting new people, and focusing on his works. Because he has experienced a sudden loneliness, he was not able to be out of his own thoughts and as his friend; I could be his chat friend and sometimes an advisor to accept the fact and move on. Through these treatments and help I am sure Charlie can be recovered from the depression.
