You will lose many things, people, and situations in life, even (and maybe especially) when you’re making changes in a positive direction. Here’s the lowdown on the stages of grief and how they work (hint: it’s not linear) so that you can anticipate what’s to come.
Quote to remember:
“Any life transition involves some kind of loss.”
Takeaways:
- Grief is part of all change, whether the change is good or bad
- The fourth stage of depression often feels like the worst part, despite it being before acceptance
- Accepting change and everything that comes with it
- The stages of grief do not go in order, and you cycle between them rather than go step by step
- No emotion lasts for very long
- Judging our feelings will add another layer of feelings
What you’ll learn:
- Why we might feel negative emotions when we’re making positive changes in our lives
- The stages of grief
- The optional sixth stage of grief
- What grieving looks like when we make a positive change
