Grieving? Have you experienced a loss and therefore are grieving or mourning? Is there difference between grieving and mourning? “Grief” and “mourning” are words that have been used interchangeably to mean the same thing. But, the fact is, there really is a very important difference between them. This blog was inspired by a very dear friend whose mom was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Grief is an emotional reaction or response to loss. Loss is not just about losing someone we love, to death. We may experience intense loss from losing a relationship, our sense of self, our job, our home, our freedom, our health, our dreams or a limb, among many other things that we hold precious and important.The grief process is the brain’s way of dealing with a matter it can’t completely comprehend in the moment; so it takes time to sort through it all. Remember if you have a very sick love one they grieve before you do. They lost health and about to leave love ones and life. Psychologists identified 5 different stages of mourning and grieving process. These sages are: 1, Denial and Isolation 2. Anger 3, Bargaining 4, Depression and 5. Acceptance. All self explanatory and not necessarily in that order.The stages of mourning and grief are universal and are experienced by people from all walks of life. Although we may never completely stop feeling our loss, with time, the frequency and intensity of our pain, and our grief response to it, will diminish considerably. In fact, going through a healthy grieving process, however painful, allows us the excellent chance to heal, as grief is itself a medicine. My main point here is that grief does not start from death, grieving is not just about you, your sick love one is grieving before you do. Sad as it may seem don't feel sorry if they are grieving, allow them to grieve because grieving is a healing process. Grief is a medicine that heals the pain from loss. We all show grief in different ways, it is a personal process that has no time limit nor a right way to do it. Respect, understand and support their own grief process that will help them go through it with much lesser pain.

all the saddest feelings will come out when you lost someone who means the world to you.. it's true that we go thru stages, of grief, mourning despair and acceptance,, when you deal with a loss, all your intellect or power of reasoning disappear. truly , the heart has a mind of its own. time and years will teach us how to deal with our grief but for me, the feeling of loss is still there even after more than a decade..i still keep saying, " wish you are "..... stay strong and keep the faith!!.tight hugs...
