Therapy Thursday - Wendi
Topic: Grief
Listener writes in about the passing of his grandmother, and his grandfather's newly diagnosed cancer. His family is dealing with grief. Wendi discusses the stages of grief. Talking it out is not necessarily a solution. Talking to a trusted friend, especially one who has experienced grief already, is important. Grief occurrs not only with loved ones who die, but with the loss of a job, etc. Grief is necessary, but people can be trapped in one phase too long. Grief hurts, but is a healthy process. Living through grief is complicated. Survivor's guilt is totally okay.
Stages of Grief:
- Denial
- Anger
- Bargaining
- Depression
- Acceptance
