Stages of Grief: Stage 5 Acceptance/Anticipatory Grief/Disenfranchised Grief/Complicated Grief

Sacred Sunsets I Grief, Death, End-of-Life, Inspiring Life Stories, Latter-Day Saint, Christian

We’re going to discuss the final stage of grief which is acceptance. We will also cover anticipatory grief, disenfranchised grief, and complicated grief which can occur as well. If you haven’t already listened to the previous episodes, covering the other stages of grief, I encourage you to do so. Remember that those stages are: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. As covered previously, these stages are not linear and can happen at any point in the grieving process in any order and some people may not experience some of the stages at all. We all grieve in our own way and the best thing we can do when others are suffering the same loss we are is to recognize that any allow grace for each other. Otherwise, relationships can be torn apart, compounding that loss.

For future episodes, I am working on lining up interviews with others who have experienced grief or who have helped others through grief. I also want to start opening up conversations about the end of life, as well as when someone has been enlightened with the preciousness of their mortality and have begun to live differently because of that realization. If you or others you know fit this, I would love to have you on the show!
