Grief

"Flowers Grow Out Of Dark Moments." by ~Corita Kent~

  

  • Grief is part of being human
  • Grief: is an intense emotional suffering caused by loss, disaster, misfortune, etc; acute sorrow; deep sadness.
  • Mourning: is the actions or feelings of someone who mourns; specifically the expression of grief at someone's death.
  •   

    There are 5 recognizable stages of Grief

  • Denial and Isolation
  • Anger
  • Bargining
  • Depression
  • Acceptance

  •   

    Each person goes through these stages of grief...but no one goes thru them exactly the same way or in the same order as someone else....

      

    Grief while a "shared" emotion [in that almost everyone eventually grieves the loss of someone/something]....is a very unique emotion [in that we each grieve our own way]

      

    Don't compare your grief to someone else's.....your grief is your own....

      

    "If I am to wear this mourning cloak, let it be made of the fabric of love, woven by the fine thread of the memory" ~safe passages~

      

    "Rest assured that in [her] dying, in [her] flight through darkness toward a new light, [she] held you in [her] arms and carried your closeness with [her]. And when [she] arrived at God, your image was imprinted on [her] joy-filled soul." ~ Molly Fumia~ **note: brackets my own**~
