This has got nothing to do with me particularly but actually it do relates to everyone of us. Grief is a sense which is understandable as you come in a much groomed and mature part of your life. You cannot deny the fact the every human being in this world exists with a feeling and sense of grief in his or her personality. We wish to stay away from it for eternity but it has always a part of mankind.
Anyway the whole theme is not to get introduced with what grieving can make you become or what it does. We will today discuss about it universally known 7 stages and describe them one by one. Don't blame it on me you HAPPY PEOPLE out there but trust me there are people who genuinely want to know more about it so that they could prevent and get a curable catharsis for themselves because comfort would not have been there is grief was not like some wise have said, "An absence of nothing is everything", "absence of light is dark" and "absence of good is evil".
Here you go with the 7 Stages of Grieving:
1. SHOCK & DENIAL-
You will probably react to learning of the loss with numbed disbelief. You may deny the reality of the loss at some level, in order to avoid the pain. Shock provides emotional protection from being overwhelmed all at once. This may last for weeks.
2. PAIN & GUILT-
As the shock wears off, it is replaced with the suffering of unbelievable pain. Although excruciating and almost unbearable, it is important that you experience the pain fully, and not hide it, avoid it or escape from it with alcohol or drugs.
You may have guilty feelings or remorse over things you did or didn't do with your loved one. Life feels chaotic and scary during this phase.
3. ANGER & BARGAINING-
Frustration gives way to anger, and you may lash out and lay unwarranted blame for the death on someone else. Please try to control this, as permanent damage to your relationships may result. This is a time for the release of bottled up emotion.
You may rail against fate, questioning "Why me?" You may also try to bargain in vain with the powers that be for a way out of your despair ("I will never drink again if you just bring him back")
4. "DEPRESSION", REFLECTION, LONELINESS-
Just when your friends may think you should be getting on with your life, a long period of sad reflection will likely overtake you. This is a normal stage of grief, so do not be "talked out of it" by well-meaning outsiders. Encouragement from others is not helpful to you during this stage of grieving.
During this time, you finally realize the true magnitude of your loss, and it depresses you. You may isolate yourself on purpose, reflect on things you did with your lost one, and focus on memories of the past. You may sense feelings of emptiness or despair.
5. THE UPWARD TURN-
As you start to adjust to life without your dear one, your life becomes a little calmer and more organized. Your physical symptoms lessen, and your "depression" begins to lift slightly.
6. RECONSTRUCTION & WORKING THROUGH-
As you become more functional, your mind starts working again, and you will find yourself seeking realistic solutions to problems posed by life without your loved one. You will start to work on practical and financial problems and reconstructing yourself and your life without him or her.
7. ACCEPTANCE & HOPE-
During this, the last of the seven stages in this grief model, you learn to accept and deal with the reality of your situation. Acceptance does not necessarily mean instant happiness. Given the pain and turmoil you have experienced, you can never return to the carefree, untroubled YOU that existed before this tragedy. But you will find a way forward.
This is definitely depressing but it also shows and tells you how beautiful, full of energy and a great vibe life is. Get back to life people. Nobody helps and nobody will seek it for you. You have to do it yourself. We just told you in means of pushing you that YOU CAN DO IT. Just that!
