What is Grief?
Every person responds to loss through grief which manifests both emotionally and physically. Every major life event including the death of someone dear and a divorce and job loss and major change represents an expected and necessary part of healing. People throughout Melbourne regardless of age face different emotional responses to grief that could include sadness together with anger and guilt and loneliness. Adjusting to life after a loss commonly produces such feelings which remain valid parts of the bereavement process.

What are the Types of Grief?
Several types of grief can be experienced in different ways.
Abbreviated Grief
This type of grief is typically experienced after the loss of a loved one and is characterized by grief that lasts for a shorter amount of time than expected.
Absent Grief
This grief is experienced when a person has difficulty expressing their grief in words and they may not even realize they are grieving.
Acute Grief
Acute grief is immediate grief experienced in reaction to a new loss or death. This type of grief generally lasts up to six months.
Anticipatory Grief
Anticipatory grief is grief that is felt before the death of a loved one. It can occur when an individual knows that death is impending and processes grief in advance.
Collective Grief
Collective grief is grief experienced by a community or group of people, such as when a natural disaster or tragedy occurs.
Complicated Grief
Complicated grief occurs when grief lasts longer than expected or becomes intense enough to interfere with daily life.
Chronic Grief
Chronic grief can occur after someone experiences a major life transition, such as moving away from home or the death of a pet. It’s characterized by grief symptoms that don’t seem to go away over time.
Cumulative Grief
Cumulative grief is grief that builds over time due to multiple losses, such as the death of several family and friends in a short period.
Delayed Grief
Delayed grief occurs when grief is not expressed until months or years after a death. This can be due to denial, repression, or suppression of grief.
Disenfranchised Grief
Disenfranchised grief occurs when an individual experiences grief but does not receive support or social acknowledgment because of societal expectations, discrimination, or lack of recognition for the loss.
Distorted Grief
Distorted grief occurs when grief is expressed in ways that are not typical or socially acceptable.

What Are
the Five Stages of Grief?
The five stages of grief, as originally proposed by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in her 1969 book On Death and Dying, are
- Denial
- Anger
- Bargaining
- Depression
- Acceptance
Denial
Denial is a normal reaction to grief. It helps us cope with the emotional pain that grief can bring and allows us time to process the loss. Anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance come next in no particular order; however, it is important to remember that grief is an individual journey and not everyone may experience all five stages.
Anger
Grief is often accompanied by feelings of anger, frustration, and even guilt. It is normal to feel angry at the circumstances leading up to the grief or even at the person who has died.
Bargaining
Bargaining is a way of attempting to postpone grief by wishing for a different outcome. This stage can include wishful thinking, such as “if only” statements, thoughts of what could have been done differently or negotiating with a higher power in hopes that grief can be avoided.
Depression
The grief process inevitably leads to depression. Depression can look like sadness, but it also affects other aspects of life such as sleep patterns and appetite. Grief counseling centers such as Palm Coast Treatment Solutions in Melbourne, FL, can help individuals to manage depression that results from grief.
Acceptance
The final stage of grief is acceptance. At this point, the individual has come to terms with what has happened and can move forward. Acceptance can look different for each person and grief counseling centers such as Palm Coast Treatment Solutions in Melbourne, FL can help individuals find ways to cope with the grief that works best for them.
