Grief is a very natural response when you experience loss. Rather it is losing someone close to you, or losing something you care about grief hurts. Grief is caused by many things like a loved one or close friend passed away, or a relationship ending. Or it can be triggered by job loss, children moving away/off to college, and more.

Everyone grieves differently, and that is ok. It is important to understand your emotions and to take care of yourself.

SIGNS AND STAGES OF GRIEF

Anger–  This is a common phase in the grief process. Maybe you think “why did this happen to me?” or “life isn’t fair!” Anger is a necessary stage of grieving. It is important to let yourself feel this emotion.
 
Bargaining– You may dwell on the “what if’s” or “if only”  Guilt often is accompanied by bargaining.
 
Depression–  As your new normal sets in, sadness can also creep its way in. You may begin to understand the effect of the loss on your life.  You may feel numb, want to withdraw from your life or commitments. When you’re depressed, it may be hard to talk to others about what is going on.
 
Acceptance– The final stage of grief, where you begin to accept the reality of your loss. Your emotions are beginning to stabilize. And, although you feel sad, you can begin to move forward. This does not mean that all your days from here on out will be good days. There will be good and bad days. But, the good days will outnumber the bad.

GRIEVING IS A PROCESS AND IT LOOKS DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE.

Sometimes grief is temporary as you get over a breakup or lose a job you loved. You’ll likely mourn that loss for a bit. Then, when you date someone new or get a new job, over time that loss isn’t so important to you anymore. For losses like these, it’s normal to feel sad, confused, or even hopeless for a short time as you process the big emotions you might feel.

Other times, grief and loss are more permanent. For example, losing a spouse or child is not something you can “get over.” Grief’s intensity can change over time. However, you will always have that void and certain things can trigger the loss (a song, certain smell, or watching old videos) and this cycle may continue forever for many people.
