Grief, bereavement - Introduction
Counsellors and therapists in New Zealand who can support you when you suffer from grief, loss, bereavement.
Grief is the time we spend adjusting to loss. There is no standard time limit and there is no right or wrong way to feel during the bereavement period.
Grief, although normal, can manifest in a huge range of ways. Some people get angry, some people withdraw further into themselves and some people become completely numb. Sometimes, grief can turn into something more serious - like depression.
The five stages of grief and loss
The 5 stages of grief and loss are:
1. Denial and isolation;
2. Protest or Anger;
3. Bargaining and fighting;
4. Depression;
5. Acceptance.
In our bereavement, we spend different lengths of time working through each step and express each stage with different levels of intensity. The five stages of loss do not necessarily occur in any specific order. We often move between stages before achieving a more peaceful acceptance
