  • Reaching Acceptance: the Five Stages of Grief

    1131 Words  | 3 Pages

    When one is faced with grief, an individual must go through all of the five stages, whether it is for a brief or extended period of time in order to reach the final stage of acceptance. Denial is the first logical stage that one feels when trying to cope with trauma because it feels safe to trick oneself into thinking that the event did not actually occur. Anger follows when the individual realizes that the trauma did occur and there is nothing to make it better. Depression is the third stage in the grief process in which one feels helpless and dark with nowhere to run. The fourth stage of the grief process is bargaining which is when one will try to find an alternative way to cope with or get out of the situation. Acceptance is the final stage that everybody strives to reach in times of grief in order to move on and cope with the trauma. In order to overcome situations such as losing a loved one, personal trauma, or a lost dream, one must go through all of the stages of grief in order to reach the stage of acceptance.

These stages can make a person who is not moving through them the way they are laid out feel like they are not grieving properly and there is something wrong with them. But when you instead present them as a guideline for the feelings and emotions they will experience, depression and anger; and as a guideline for some of the mental processes they will go through, denial, bargaining, and acceptance, they are free to take their time to grieve without expectation. Each person is individual and their relationship with the person they lost is not the same as everyone else and so they will grieve their own way and these guidelines will help them to know they are going to be ok.
