1 Expressions of Grief Coping is dealing successfully with difficult changes in your life. Grief response is an individual s total response to a major loss. Everyone s grief response it different and unique. The Grieving Process The purpose of this process is to reach closure, or acceptance of a loss. There is no correct way of experiencing loss, but the stages of grief reflect a variety of reactions that may occur as people work through the process. 1. Denial or Numbness In this stage, the person cannot believe that loss has occurred; this part of the process protects the person from being overwhelmed by his or her emotions. 2. Emotional Releases These reactions come with recognition of the loss and often involve periods of crying, which is important to the healing process. 3. Anger Feeling powerless and unfairly deprived, the person may last out at whatever is perceived to be responsible for the loss. Sometimes a general resentment toward life sets in. 4. Bargaining As the reality of the loss becomes clear, the person may promise to change if only what was lost can be returned, even for a little while 5. Depression Beyond the natural feelings of sadness, feelings of isolation, alienation, and hopelessness occur as the person recognizes the extent of the loss. 6. Remorse The person may become preoccupied with thoughts about what he or she could have done to prevent the loss or make things better 7. Acceptance This stage can involve a sense of power, allowing the person to face reality in constructive ways and make significant and meaningful gestures surrounding the idea of loss. 8. Hope Eventually the person reaches a point when remembering becomes less painful and he or she begins to look ahead to the future.
