Coping With Bereavement.
Grief is a harrowing journey in itself. Watching a family member die is one of the most saddest times in our lives and when death finally occirs people cope with their grief in different ways. Manypeople emerge from the process fairly well whereas others seem to be unable to cope and their lives can become a misery.
A Bonding within the existing family is the best support in every grieving process. Yet, each family member experiences what is known as the 5 stages of mourning. Also called the grief cycle, it starts with denial; then anger; bargaining; depression; and concluding in acceptance.
It begins with denial. Disbelief is the first reaction of everyone affected. There is that concise question of “Why?” There’s that shielding helix of a refusal to take in reality.
When you refuse to see the truth because it is not our wanted mould of scenario, you become angry, which is the second stage. You become angry for the truth that seemed to have suddenly sprung up like the common thief in the night.
The bargaining part is when the body gets tired of all the negative energies and you try to offer a shabby trade This part is a relatively small leap of faith, yet it is a means of fantasy, triggered by the vulnerability of the situation.
When a person realizes that bargaining is empty, they go into a state of despair, a phase that people go through, where they crave and require silence.
Emerging from depression manifests that acceptance has been reached. It means that the death of a loved one has been accepted. This is a phase when you feel much better. In some ways, it is a moment to celebrate the opportunity of looking at life beautifully, even with its sometimes sad truths.
