The secret is, in my opinion at least, that there are more stages of grief than the five you have heard of. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are often talked about as if they happen in order moving from one stage to the other. The truth is, you circle back many times. You may think you have fully grieved someone who passed away awhile ago but then someone else you love passes and it opens up those old wounds. You circle back. It's a process of intense pain and trauma. A trauma loop, a shock loop. I REALLY freaking hate loops. 🙅🏻‍♀️ Always remember It's okay to grieve in your own way. Never let someone tell you that everyone grieves in the same way. That's total BS. Also, it doesn't get easier with time. It gets easier with vulnerability, growth and faith. I won't lie to you. There is no quick fix. This is the real life, real hard shiz friends. ✌️💜😀 #shock #shockcycle #grieving #grief #5stagesofgrief #noclicheshere #traumaloop #shockloop #loops #mentalhealtha...
