You grieve<\/a> mentally, physically and spiritually. Many of us experience a similar cycle when grieving \u2014 they are common steps we use to help heal. Some people skip steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
1. Denial<\/td>\nWhen the pain is too great, we temporarily shut down. You feel so numb you act as though nothing happened.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2. Eruption<\/td>\nYour emotions suddenly break out \u2014it seems to hit at once.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3. Anger<\/td>\nYou\u2019ll get angry angry: it\u2019s unfair, someone should have changed things, you don\u2019t understand why. You may even be angry at who you\u2019ve lost for deserting you.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4. Illness<\/td>\nIllness and stress go hand in hand. Don\u2019t be surprised if you\u2019re sick.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5. Panic<\/td>\nYou worry you\u2019ll never get over the loss, that you\u2019ve lost yourself. \u00a0You wonder if what you\u2019re going through is normal.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
6. Guilt<\/td>\nWe try to find something to blame.\u00a0 If there is no one to blame, we blame ourselves.\u00a0 Feeling as though it\u2019s your fault seems more bearable than there being no reason at all.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
7. Loneliness<\/td>\nYou find yourself avoiding others, feeling as though they can\u2019t understand. You withdraw from friends and family.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
8. Re-Entry<\/td>\nYou want to move on, but can\u2019t yet. You feel loyalty to the memory of who you lost, and worry moving on would be abandoning them.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
9. Hope<\/td>\nYou don\u2019t know when, but one day, you notice you\u2019re doing better. You feel like a fog has lifted. You begin to think you\u2019ll be ok again someday.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
10. Reality<\/td>\nYou reconstruct your life, using the new strengths you\u2019ve gained from grieving.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
