Losing A Loved One.

Grief is a harrowing journey in itself. Watching a family member die is one of the most saddest times in our lives and when death finally occirs people cope with their grief in different ways. Somepeople emerge from the process fairly well whereas others seem to be unable to cope and their lives can become a misery.

A Bonding within the living family is the best support in every grieving process. Yet, each family member goes through what is known as the five stages of mourning. Also known as the grief cycle, it begins with denial; followed by anger; bargaining; depression; and concluding in acceptance.

It begins with denial. Disbelief is the initial reaction of everyone affected. There is that initial question of “Why?” There’s that shielding helix of a refusal to admit reality.

The second stage is when you refuse to see through the truth because it is not our wanted mould of a scenario and become angry. You become angry for the truth that seemed to have suddenly sprung up like the common thief in the night.

The bargaining part is when the body gets tired of all the negative energies and you try to offer a shabby trade This part is a relatively small leap of faith, yet it is a means of fantasy, triggered by the vulnerability of the situation.

When a person realizes that bargaining is empty, they go into despair, a phase that people go through, where they want and need silence.

Emerging from depression manifests that acceptance has been achieved. It means that the death of someone close has been accepted. This is a phase when you feel much better. In many ways, it is a moment to celebrate the opportunity of looking at life differently, even with its sometimes sad truths.
