COPING WITH GRIEF AND LOSS
Grief and loss are profound and deeply personal experiences that affect everyone at some point. At The Counselling, Mediation, and Relationship Centre, Donna Piromalli understands the impact these emotions have on one’s mental and emotional well-being. Based in Griffith, Donna is dedicated to offering compassionate support and guidance to help you navigate through this difficult time.
Understanding Grief
Grief is a complex emotional response to the loss of someone or something significant. It involves a range of feelings including sadness, anger, and confusion, and manifests differently for each person. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to grieving; it is a unique journey for everyone.
The Grieving Process
While grief can be experienced in various ways, it is often described in stages. These stages may appear in different orders and vary in intensity for each individual. Common stages include:
- Denial: Difficulty accepting the reality of the loss, often marked by disbelief.
- Anger: Feelings of frustration or resentment towards the situation or others.
- Bargaining: Attempts to reverse or mitigate the loss, often through negotiation or seeking changes.
- Depression: Deep sadness and despair as the reality of the loss becomes more apparent.
- Acceptance: Gradual coming to terms with the loss and beginning the healing process.
