Many associate the grieving process with the passing of a loved

one

but the truth of the matter is our lives are filled with numerous

instances

of grief. A few examples where grieving commonly takes

place would be

the loss of a job, the end of a relationship, loss of a

pet, loss of good

health, or having to let go of a cherished possession.

dditionally

, events

that take place on a larger scale such as natural disasters

or terrorist attacks,

can

, and often do,

cause people to grieve at the loss of

personal possessions and

their feeling

safety

and security.

The

truth

of the matter is when anything of significance is taken away from us we grieve. Once the grief

process kicks in a myriad of unfamiliar and confusing emotions and behaviors can, and often do occur.

Grief reactions vary markedly from person to person, persisting anywhere from a couple of weeks to many

years; depending on the emotional bond and length of the triggering event combined with the personality

traits of the grieving person.

Signs and symptoms include disturbed sleep patterns; tightness or pain in the chest or throat; poor

concentration; difficulty completing tasks; disorientation to space and time; digestive upset; headaches;

withdrawal from social activities; loss of interest in regular daily routines; sighing; periods of crying;

teariness; anger; resentment; bitterness; loss of interest in intimacy; and mood swings.

The

Four Phases of Grief

Generally, the grieving person passes through a series of stages as the loss takes

its full emotional toll and as the individual comes to terms with the loss. There is no

set time for how long a person spends in any given stage. Additionally, the grieving

person may move back and forth between two or more stages or not follow the

expected order of grieving.

The first stage of the process is referred to as

denial and protest

. In this stage the

grieving person may struggle to come to terms with the realization as to what has

happened.

He or she may feel disoriented or confused, have a great deal of trouble concentrating, and lose focus

during conversations, only picking up a small portion

of what is said. This stage usually occupies the first days or weeks after the

triggering event.

The second stage is

despair

. As the full pain of what has been lost is felt, the grieving person has

recurring thoughts, dreams, or even nightmares of what has happened. If the triggering event was

the death of a family member of close friend they may even hear his or her voice. Anger is common

during this stage and may be expressed both inwardly and outwardly, having no particular boundaries

as to who or what may be feel their rage.

The third stage is

depression

. It is not surprising that depression would rare its ugly head at some

point.

The third stage lasts the longest, typically lasting for months, or even years. The grieving

person may

have difficulty sleeping through the night or may want to do nothing but sleep. Social

withdrawal commonly exists during the depressive phase of the grieving process. Usually there is

little motivation to perform ordinary tasks inside the home, and even less interest in participating

in activities which take place outside the home.

The final stage is referred to as resolution and acceptance

. In this final act of this long running play

the ominous storm clouds of grief begin to lift. At this point the grieving person can talk about what

has happened without crying or feeling guilty, and once again start to regain the capacity to take

pleasure in living life. While the fires of those old memories may be kindled from time to time, the

individual is able to continue with his or her life despite what has happened in the past.

What

You Are Feeling Is Unique

Regardless of the type of loss you may have experienced,

your

grieving process will be different from that of other

people, even

those experiencing the same kind of loss.

Every person’s life is unique,

filled with a roller coaster

of emotions and experiences, so, too, is one’s

grief journey.

Loss is a deeply personal occurrence which triggers a combination of unique responses that depend

on an individual’s

personality, the situation surrounding the loss, previous losses, the social support

network which exists, and the nature of the relationship with the person lost, or the attachment to what

was lost.

A person may experience several or only a few of the many symptoms which accompany the grieving

process, and there is no set order in which they should occur.

Traveling

Down The Bumpy Road

As you gradually work through the weeds which have engulfed you both physically and emotionally

you may feel as if you’re traveling a long, winding path with no specific destination or end in sight.

But eventually things will change and some resemblance of normalcy and clarity will return.

Many factors will shape your journey, and some may even complicate it. Encountering highs and lows

along the way is normal and healthy, as is backtracking, as long as you feel you are making progress

overall.

That said, if the road you are traveling only seems to be getting bumpier by the day, or if you feel

stalled

or stranded at any point, seeking the help or advice from a mental health professional or

clergy

specializing in grief counseling could be an option worth considering.
