What is the ruling on feeling unwilling to live and fearing the worst after successive trials of loss and bereavement?

Grief over the loss of loved ones is natural and does not contradict Islamic law. Prophets and Companions grieved their losses, and the Prophet, peace be upon him, grieved the loss of his children, wife, and uncle. Grief passes through stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally, acceptance. To cope with loss, one can transform grief into helping others, avoid hasty decisions, and discover blessings after the shock. Adherence to Islamic law in grieving is necessary, and society should support those affected. Among the وصايا (admonitions) are: misfortune is a test and purification; patience is half of faith; Allah’s decrees are veiled in mercy; patience is a cause for the guidance of hearts. The obligatory patience is at the first shock, and it is recommended to say "Innā lillāhi wa innā ilayhi rājiʿūn" (Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return) upon a calamity. There is no harm in showing sadness and weeping without wailing or lamenting, while accepting Allah’s decree and having a good opinion of Him.
