#ThoughtfulTuesday: The journey through grief is often complex and deeply personal. Understanding the πŸ”Ÿ Stages of Grief can provide valuable insight into your own healing process:

  1. Ugly - The raw, intense emotions that may feel overwhelming.

  2. Raw - The vulnerability and openness to experiencing pain.

  3. Numb - A period of emotional detachment or disbelief.

  4. Searching - The quest for meaning and understanding in the midst of loss.

  5. Redefining Values - Reevaluating what truly matters to you.

  6. Rebuilding Self - The process of reconstructing your identity.

  7. Reintegrating - Gradually returning to daily life with new perspectives.

  8. Restoring Purpose - Finding new meaning and direction as you move forward.

  9. Open to HOPE - Embracing the possibility of healing and renewal.

  10. The Rest of Your Life - Learning to live with your loss while continuing your journey.

Each stage is a crucial part of the healing process, guiding you through the pain and toward restoration.

πŸ‘‰Which stage resonates with you the most right now?

Note that like the 5 Stages of Grief that you've probably head of, this is an oversimplistic model. The reality involves a lot of bouncing between each of these at various times to various degrees. This book explains the process from the perspective of neuroscience and talks about a better model:

The Grieving Brain: The Surprising Science of How We Learn from Love and Loss

And this book talks about it more from a social perspective:

It's Ok that You're Not Ok

The kerning between the 'f' in greif, and the 'a' in 'are' is a bit off :)
