5 Things No One Told You About Grieving

Most people know the common five (to seven) stages of grief: (Shock), Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, (Testing), and Acceptance. Everyone experiences these stages in entirely different ways. While you are grieving, many people will tell you something along the lines of: ‘Stay strong,’ or, ‘It’ll get better.’ While those are predictable and well-intentioned things to say in an attempt to comfort someone, they are not always true.

You can grieve the loss of a pet. You can mourn for the loss of a sentimental object. The loss of a beloved place, or of any kind of relationship or connection. Nothing has to die in order for you to go into mourning. There can be grief for a friendship that has just drifted apart, or for the ending of your favorite book series.

Whenever something is lost – no matter what, no matter why – and it causes pain in its absence, that is grief.

2. ‘Just stay strong’ typically goes hand in hand with the denial phase of grief.

It is when you are told that despite all the terrible things happening to you, you must stay strong and overcome it. What is not said is that………………….
