Grief & Loss

GRIEF is  the feeling of deep sorrow or sadness after experiencing the loss of a loved one, or something important.

GRIEVING is the action of feeling the feelings (sorrow, sadness, anger, fear etc.) that accompany processing a loss of a loved one, or something important.

SOCIAL death is the loss of connections to others

PSYCHOLOGICAL death is the loss of personality traits

PHYSIOLOGICAL death is the organ failure

BIOLOGICAL death is the loss of a human organism / entity

STAGE 1:  Shock, numbness, disbelief, denial

STAGE 2:  Processing strong feelings: sadness, sorrow, fear, anger, guilt

STAGE 3: Yearning & searching for the "loss" to return; thinking that it will be there when you wake

STAGE 4: Disorganization & despair; this often includes depression, fatigue, withdrawl and isolation while trying to adapt to the loss

STAGE 5: Growing acceptance of the loss and reorganizing one's life and moving forward; an attitude that "life must go on" and finding new meaning and purpose

These stages can vary in length and stages

Ezreena often uses the Metapsychology tool of "Unblocking" to allow a client to process all thoughts, feelings and physical sensations that have been stored or suppressed. The client then gets to talk about anything and everything that has been attached to the loss - this is a very thorough and unburdening process for the person grieving.
