 |
| Coping with Grief & Loss |
| |
| |
I know it's over
for us but I just cannot let go. I don't know why.
Everywhere I go, reminds me of us.
I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye. Will
dad forgive me for not being there when he left
this world? There's so much I want to say to him.
So many accrued sorry I failed to say. |

It seems that a natural turning
point for everyone is at the point of grief and loss.
How we eventually cope with it will affect our belief
system and perception of life thereafter.
|
| |
| Generally, a griever goes through
five stages: |
|
Stage
of Denial
|
The
griever refuses to accept the loss has occurred. |
|
Stage
of
Anger
|
The
griever may be angry at either the person/object
that has been lost or anyone else, even himself.
|
|
Stage
of Depression
|
This
stage can happen simultaneously with the stage of
anger. At these stages, the griever has to learn
coping methods, so that he can move on in life without
doing any further damage to himself and those around
him. |
|
Stage
of Bargaining
|
The
griever will bargain with anyone: God, his therapist
or anyone in his life, even himself. This is our
natural coping mechanism. |
|
Stage
of Resolution
|
This
is also known as the Stage of Acceptance, where
we finally decide to move on in life. |
|
| |
|
Knowing the stages may not be enough to help some individuals
cope with grief and loss. Many of us need a proper closure
that will help us to let go. Some people may even discover
unexpected reasons to their inability to let go during
hypnotherapy sessions.
Hanging on to what is no longer there may result in
you losing even more of what and who is with you now.
You decide how much more you want to lose.

want to move on. |
