The 5 Stages of Grief

What’s up, babe?! Welcome back to Boldly Courageous! We are living in a crazy time. We’ve just been through an election, and the outcome is still up in the air as ballots are being counted. You might be in a situation where your candidate doesn’t win, and in that case, you might experience a sense of loss and grief. I’ve been there — I have grieved the loss of my sister, who passed away after her battle with leukemia, my marriage, and my network marketing business. Grief is not easy, but we can always support each other. So today, I want to talk through the five stages of grief. I hope this episode makes you feel so loved and supported! Let’s get started.

 

In This Episode You Will Learn…

• What the five stages of grief are
• That we often experience the same types of feelings no matter what we’ve lost
• The importance of normalizing loss and the emotions that come with it
• That grief is not linear and it’s normal to jump back and forth between stages
• Some healthy ways to express your anger
• Why we experience shock, anger, and bargaining when we’re grieving
• The importance of supporting others who are experiencing depression
• That “acceptance” does not necessarily mean moving past the pain
• The importance of giving yourself grace during a time of grieving
