5 stages of grief

 🤍

The most commonly identified stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.

1. Denial: Struggling to accept the reality of the loss.
2. Anger: Feeling frustration and helplessness.
3. Bargaining: Making deals or promises to reverse the loss.
4. Depression: Deep sadness and withdrawal from activities.
5. Acceptance: Finding peace and understanding of the new reality.

These stages aren’t linear; you might move back and forth or skip stages entirely. Everyone’s grief journey is unique.

Grief works by allowing us to process our emotions, heal, and eventually adapt to our new reality. It’s important to be patient with yourself and seek support from loved ones or professionals if needed.

Remember, feeling grief is a sign of love and connection, and it’s okay to take the time you need to heal.
