36 months, 3 weeks, 1 day, 19 hours agoPsychologists have learned that most people experience similar thoughts and emotions when confronted with loss. These have been named the Stages of Grief. Whether a grieving person proceeds through these stages in a set order or not, the different stages help us to work through our loss in a way that will help us to accept it and heal.
But we can't tuck messy emotions into neat little packages. The Stages of Grief are responses to loss that many people have. There is not a typical response to loss, as there is no typical loss. Our grieving is as individual as our lives.
If you are trying to cope with a loss, these stages will help you to understand that, though painful and often confusing, what you are feeling is normal. When someone or something is wrested away from us forever, we suffer an acute emotional wound. Mentally, we must adjust to this trauma in stages because we cannot accommodate that much pain all at once. And so the process begins.
