The Bereavement Journey

The bereavement journey refers to the emotional process experienced after losing a loved one. It involves various stages such as shock, denial, anger, sadness, acceptance, and gradually adjusting to life without the person. This journey is unique to each individual, often fluctuating and lasting different lengths of time. Support from friends, family, or professionals can help navigate these feelings. Understanding that grief is a normal part of mourning can foster compassion and patience during this difficult transition, ultimately leading to healing and renewal over time.
