  1. UNDERSTANDING GRIEF & HOW TO NAVIGATE LOSS

  2. INTRODUCTION Grief is a profound human experience that often accompanies a sense of loss. The grieving process is complex and deeply personal, whether it is triggered by the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the loss of a job, or any other significant and unwelcome life change. Despite its prevalence, grief remains widely misunderstood.

  3. UNVEILING THE CONCEPTUAL HISTORY OF GRIEF Grief, as we know it today, dates back to the early twentieth century, when Sigmund Freud recognized its importance and deemed it worthy of psychological study. In the mid-1940s, Erich Lindemann investigated grief further, considering it an illness if it was prolonged or excessively intense. Contemporary theories, on the other hand, acknowledge grief as a necessary process that individuals must go through and emphasize that there is no single “right” way to grieve.

  4. GRIEF IS A MULTIFACETED JOURNEY You’ve probably heard of the five widely recognized stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. These stages, first introduced by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross in her 1969 book “On Death and Dying,” were thought to be the norm for the grieving process. Recognizing that they do not necessarily apply everywhere is crucial. Each person experiences grief in a unique way, so following a strict orderly progression through these stages is not required.

  5. THE EFFECTS OF GRIEF ON THE MIND: MANAGING EMOTIONAL UNREST Grief has effects that go beyond just being emotionally taxing; it can also have a big impact on how you think. After a loss, one’s mind becomes preoccupied with memories of the event, which makes it difficult to concentrate on daily activities and feelings. This phenomenon, also known as “grief fog,” involves more than just diversion. Grief can also interfere with memory. The increased distractions that come with grieving can make it challenging to recall memories that do not involve the deceased loved one.

  6. EMBRACING GRIEF It is important to embrace and process grief as a necessary step on the road to recovery and adjustment, as opposed to avoiding or suppressing it. In order to find a new normal, one must first acknowledge their grief. This is different from trying to go back to how things were before the loss. It is not about seeking a silver lining but about navigating through the pain and transforming it into personal growth. By leaning into your grief, you allow yourself the opportunity to heal and find resilience in the face of adversity.
