Mourning Process
Grief is a natural reaction to the loss of a loved one or something. As each individual's ways of coping with challenging situations may differ, so do their grief reactions. Individuals may show physiological and psychological reactions during grief.
When we consider these reactions, we can say that there are 4 basic stages of grief:
Stage 1: In this stage, the person has difficulty in grasping the reality of the loss. They may be silent and dull in the face of what they have experienced. During this period, the person may have memory problems and may have difficulty in recalling memories.
Stage 2: In this stage, the pain of the loss begins to increase. They may feel intense feelings of sadness and longing. Anger, restlessness, fear and excitement, difficulty concentrating, reluctance to do things that interest and enjoy.
Stage 3: The realization that the loss is irreversible begins to set in. These feelings may be accompanied by hopelessness and helplessness. Accordingly, fatigue and reluctance increase.
Stage 4: Over the months, the intensity of the feelings of longing and sadness gradually decreases as the certainty of the loss and its consequences are accepted. Although the memories of the loss are not lost, the person returns to the way they were before the loss, reorganizes their life and gains hopes and designs for the future.
