Seven Stages of Grief

If you have lost someone you love and are grieving, you will soon feel the need to move on. This is a healthy and normal part of the grieving process. In fact, according to Kavanaugh, there are Seven Stages of Grief:

  1. Shock and denial
  2. Disorganization (out of touch with reality)
  3. Volatile reactions (anger, rage, behavior changes. Mad at God, med staff, funeral directors, family, in-laws, friends).
  4. Guilt (social mechanism to resolve the dissonance. Saying “if only . . . “)
  5. Loss and loneliness comes a social life is reentered. Holidays feel strange without the deceased.
  6. Relief (can lead to more guilt)
  7. Reestablishment occurs gradually. Reconstructing a new life.
