We all go through tough times. When we re going through difficult times, it
can be hard to see beyond it. You feel like you re in a dark tunnel and
there is no light at the end of it. Sometimes we re the only ones who see
the light, but we need to believe there is one. There is always light at the
end of the tunnel.
The 5 stages of grief are:
- Denial
-
Anger
-
Bargaining
-
Depression
-
Acceptance
It’s normal to move through grief in a different order, to get stuck, or to
even revisit stages. Some people may not move through all of the stages or
may take years to do so.
Grief is a normal reaction to loss and change. It is a personal experience and there is no right or wrong way to feel.
It is a healthy and natural reaction to a difficult situation.
Dealing with Denial
Grief is not a straight line. It comes in waves, it crashes, then recedes,
then comes back again. Denial is the natural reaction to impending loss. It
is a necessary emotional coping mechanism to absorb the loss of a loved one.
Unfortunately, it can also cause us to miss out on the time we have with the
person we have lost.
So how do we deal with denial?
Dealing with denial is never easy, but it is an important part of the
grieving process. Understanding denial is an important part of the healing
and acceptance of a loss. Grief counselors and
therapists
understand denial and its purpose, and they will help you to work through
denial and other feelings that you may have related to the loss.
How to deal with anger during grief?
Anger is a normal response to loss. You may be angry about what happened,
who caused the loss, or your inability to control the situation. You can be
angry at yourself for not preventing death, or you may be angry with
yourself for not being strong enough to handle your grief. You may be angry
at the person who died for leaving you, or you may be angry at yourself for
feeling so broken when you miss the person who is gone.
You have lost someone you love, and you re angry. Who wouldn t be? Dealing
with your grief and your anger is normal. It is okay to be angry. It is not
healthy to hold on to it, though. When you don t deal with your anger, you
can become bitter and resentful. That can have a negative effect on every
area of your life.
Bargaining during grief
So, you’ve just lost someone close to you, and you’re trying to make sense
of it all. You’re left with lots of questions and a deeply dissatisfied
feeling.
“Why did this happen?”
“What just happened to my life?”
“Will I ever be the same?”
“Why do bad things happen to good people?”
“Why didn’t I do more to help?”
Grief is a time of immense change and stress. It can be difficult to
understand and communicate to others how you feel. Everyone grieves
differently, but there are common stages that most people go through. It is
important to know how you feel and to identify the signs of bargaining
during grief.
Depression during grief

Grief is a very natural part of life; however, sometimes it can make you
feel like you re not living. When you re grieving, it s normal to feel a
number of different emotions—sadness, despair,
anger
, resentment, and
loneliness. But depression can become so overwhelming that you feel helpless
and unable to enjoy life. Grief is different for each person, which means
that grieving may not look the same for everyone. There are different ways
of grieving, and it can affect how you feel both physically and
emotionally.
Grief is a journey, acceptance is the destination.
Grief is the price we pay for love. Grief is a wave that carries us to the
shore of love. Grief is a bridge to a more honest self. Grief is a lingering
journey through the valley of loss. Grief is the journey to acceptance.

that teaches us how to embrace it. Remember this, if you or someone you know
needs help during difficult times, reach out to us. Our therapists will be
your boatmen in the sea of grief to take you to the shore.
