Have you been dreading the holiday season? This holiday season may be tough for those who have experienced loss this year. Honestly, the loss may have been 10 years ago but you may still experience pain. There are different models for the stages of grief. Each model changes the language a bit, but Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross identifies 5 stages of grief she believes all who grieve experience: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Other models include things like shock and hope. Whatever you are experiencing, there is help for you if you need it. You don't have to grieve alone.
