After a significant loss, you may experience all kinds of difficult and surprising emotions, such as shock, anger, and guilt. Sometimes it may feel like the sadness will never go away. While these emotions can be very painful, they are normal reactions to loss and experiencing them is a necessary part of healing.<\/p><p>There is no right or wrong way to grieve. Everyone grieves differently, but there are healthy ways to cope and heal from the pain.<\/p><p>Trying to ignore your pain or keep it from surfacing will only make it worse in the long run. It\u2019s necessary to face your grief and actively deal with it.<\/p><p>Feeling sad, frightened, or lonely is a normal reaction to loss. You don\u2019t need to protect your family and friends by putting on a brave front. Showing your true feelings can help both them and you. Crying doesn\u2019t mean you are weak, and it isn\u2019t the only way to feel or express pain. Just because you aren\u2019t crying, doesn\u2019t mean that you are not feeling the pain just as deeply as others.<\/p><p>There is no right or wrong time frame for grieving. How long it takes will differ from person to person.<\/p><p>There are five stages of grief, although not everyone will experience all five stages.<\/p><ul><li>Denial: \u201cThis just isn\u2019t happening!\u201d<\/li><li>Anger: \u201cIt\u2019s not fair! Why did this have to happen?\u201d<\/li><li>Bargaining: \u201cI promise to\u2026\u2026 if you make this not real\u201d<\/li><li>Depression: \u201cI don\u2019t want to do anything but sit here!<\/li><li>Acceptance: \u201cI understand, it\u2019s sad but I can accept this.\u201d<\/li><\/ul><p>Some people resolve their grief without going through any of these stages. If you do go through these stages of grief, you won\u2019t necessarily experience them in this order, so don\u2019t worry about what you \u201cshould\u201d be feeling or which stage you\u2019re supposed to be in.<\/p><p>Grief is very personal and as individual as we are.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grief and Bereavement Losing someone you love is very painful.
