What is Grief?

Grief is natural response to loss. You know you went through one when you feel emotional suffering because someone you loved is gone. When someone goes through grief, they will feel various kinds of unforeseen emotions in their heart.

The misery from grief can also affects your physical health and make it difficult to sleep or eat. Many experiences have proven that the more significant the loss, the more vivid the grief will be. Sometimes, grief is not only about losing someone because of death. Any loss in your life such as divorce or breakup, losing a job, or miscarriage can make you go through grief.

What is Grief Therapy?

Dealing with grief is one of the hardest things to do. It can break and tear you apart, especially if it is about people we dear a lot. One of the ways to deal with this emotion is through grief therapy. Based on the National Cancer Institute, grief therapy is loss treatment such as the death of a loved one.

This therapy would help someone who has an extreme reaction toward the loss. The severe reactions include behavioural and physical troubles, acute mourning, and the inability to emotionally separate from the gone. This kind of therapy can be done individually or in a group. You can familiarize yourself with this treatment with our Grief Therapy Worksheets.

What are The Five Stages of Grief?

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross is the person who found and popularized the five stages of grief model through her book On Death and Dying in 1969. Elisabeth develops this model to illustrate how people with terminal illnesses face their death, but progressively it is adapted as the way of thinking about grief in general. Here are the five stages of grief:

1. Denial: Some people might refuse to accept the truth that their loved ones are gone, and this is normal. Letting go of something you care so much about is a hard decision and; requires a lot of time.
2. Anger: Getting angry when someone dies is understandable. It is because we are confused about what happened, and we let out our emotions as a wave of anger.
3. Bargaining: Bargaining is the stage where we start to try to rationalize everything. Most of the time, the "what if ..." scenarios pass our heads. We hope to turn back the time and change things so the present will end differently.
4. Depression: The agony of losing someone could get too much to the point someone can fall into depression. A person who suffers from this kind of depression will feel that their life no longer holds meaning anymore.
5. Acceptance: After going through so many stages of remorse, someone will finally arrive at the acceptance stages and start to comply with all the heartbreaks.
