Manage episode 492356742 series 3672106
In Part 1 of our three-part Grief Unlocked series, we gently walk with you through the survivor’s journey—navigating the emotional landscape after losing a loved one. We start by demystifying the five stages of grief—Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance—highlighting how grief isn’t a roadmap but a series of emotional currents that ebb and flow. 🌊
Learn what to expect in those early days, from numbness and shock to the undercurrent of sorrow that follows. We also talk about the unsung hero in many families—the Designated Arranger—who lovingly handles funeral planning, paperwork, and service details so others can simply grieve. It’s a role born of love—and we honor it in this episode.
We round out the conversation with practical support: how friends and family can show up, what survivors truly need, and comforting tips to lean on. Whether you're grieving or supporting someone who is, this episode offers empathy, insight, and tangible guidance for healing together.
What you'll discover:
- An honest overview of the five stages of grief, and how they may show up in your life
- The compassionate value of a Designated Arranger, and why it matters
- How to nurture yourself or someone you love, with empathy and helpful action
