Grief Workshop in California
Grief is a word that sums up a whole basket of emotions.
It is not linear and it doesn't have a time limit. No matter the situation, there are 5 stages of grief that occur. These stages are our attempts to process change and self-preserve while adapting to the new reality. However, they don't necessarily flow the same for each person, and you can bounce to different stages "out of order" or even feel them all at once.
The 5 Stages of Grief are...
Denial - you may feel easily distracted, numb, confused or even find yourself staying busy to keep your mind off your new reality.
Anger - during this stage you may feel upset with yourself and others. It can look like irritability, frustration, impatience, etc.
Bargaining - you may find yourself negotiating with a higher power or making deals with yourself. You may also feel guilt, blame, shame, insecurity, and anxiety.
Depression - during this stage you may feel sadness, weepiness, fear, regret, and uncertainty. You may notice changes in your appetite, sleep, and energy.
Acceptance - you may find yourself beginning to emotionally detach. You will be able to be more present, vulnerable, and engage with reality as it is.
We want you to know that you are not alone. We understand that grief is a whirlwind and it's complex. We want to be there for you during this time, head to the link in our bio to schedule a free phone consultation with the therapist of your choice.
