When they find out that someone they know and loved passed away the first thing that comes in there mind is that there is no possible way that it could be happening. In this stage, the world becomes meaningless and overwhelming. Life doesn't make sense and you may be in a state of shock. Then you feel hopeless wondering if you can go on. you try, and try to find a way to get through every day. Denial helps you to slow your feelings of grief.

You might becoming stronger and the denial is beginning to fade and all the feelings you were denying start to sink
I think there is a general description to describe the grieving process. The grieving process starts with losing something, such as important person in your life. The next step involved the feelings your going to get from that loss. You may feel anger, upset, or be in denial. Those are going to lead into having tough feelings that may be hard to deal with.
Imagine losing the most cared for or loved person in your life, it would hurt and have many effects on you. One of your responses to their death would be grief. Grief or Grieving is the "outward expression of your loss" (“Bereavement and Grief”). It is a powerful and complex emotion. Everyone does this when dealing with a loss, however, there are different ways that a person might express this loss.
It's a process that has to be dealt with. Another symptom that people experience is the feeling of numbness. People become so sad about their loss that nothing seems to matter to them anymore. The feeling of joy is gone and nothing brings happiness anymore. People go through their day without feeling anything. Their sadness spreads all over them and they can't control it. Grief is an immediate feeling. It can have various results such as pain, depression, and sadness. Our weakness begins to show more now than ever when we are grieving. We Losing a loved one is different for every person. Every person is different but there is definitely a clear pattern. In total, there are three outcome patterns. The first outcome pattern is chronic grief. Chronic grief is when someone becomes extremely depressed and a high level of grief. This type of grief can last for many years. The second type of grief is called the common grief pattern. This is when a elevation of symptoms such as depression, stress, and anxiety occur but last about a year or two. The third type of grief is when a person is not affected at all by the death of someone. This is very common for people. People may still be sad but they just are not emotional about it and grieve in different ways.
One of the concepts that people do not understand about grief and loss is the general idea of what it is and how it impacts people. According to Teen Health and Wellness’s article “Grief and Loss: Experiencing Loss,” is what happens when you no longer have something or someone that was extremely significant in your life, and the emotions that result are very real to you. You are entitled to these emotions. Many experts believe that the best thing for a person grieving to do is to let themselves feel sad. Lattanzi-Licht writes, common symptoms of grief are: “guilt or anger; restlessness; a sense of unreality about the loss; difficulty sleeping, eating and concentrating; mood changes; a loss of energy; constant thoughts of the
In the first stage that I will discuss is denial. In this stage people may deny the reality of the situation by blocking out the words and hiding from the facts ("5 Stages of Loss & Grief | Psych Central," n.d.-a). For instance, someone could be diagnosed with some form of cancer. That person may not want to know because it might overwhelm them. So they would not want to know the reality of
Grief is a normal part of coping with a loss but for some people, it can be far more serious. In
Each year thousands of teenagers experience the death of someone they love. When a parent, sibling, friend, or relative dies, teens feel the overwhelming loss of someone who helped shape their -fragile self-identities. Caring adults, whether parents, teachers, counselors or friends, can help teens during this time. If adults are open, honest and loving, experiencing the loss of someone loved can be a chance for young people to learn about both the joy and pain that comes from caring deeply for others. There are many common reactions to trauma, grief, and bereavement among teens. First of all, shock and denial. Feeling numb, stunned and dazed are healthy and normal reactions. Often, it is difficult to “take in” information. The grieved may
Grief is the act following the loss of a loved one. While grief and bereavement are normal occurrences, the grief process is a social construct of how someone should behave. The acceptable ways that people grieve change because of this construct. For a time it was not acceptable to grieve; today, however, it is seen as a necessary way to move on from death (Scheid, 2011).The grief process has been described as a multistage event, with each stage lasting for a suggested amount of time to be considered “normal” and reach resolution. The beginning stage of grief is the immediate shock, disbelief, and denial lasting from hours to weeks (Wambach, 1985). The middle stage is the acute mourning phase that can include somatic and emotional turmoil. This stage includes acknowledging the event and processing it on various levels, both mentally and physically. The final stage is a period of
The first step of the grieving process is denial. Denial is the unwillingness or inability to accept that a loss has occurred. During this stage, the person may not talk to you or she my act as the deceased person is still there. When in denial the person that is grieving normally acts like everything is fine and nothing has happened. The first stage is the brains defense mechanism; it allows the death to “hit” them for a period of time before the person actually comes to terms with the loss. This stage of the grieving process doesn’t last
Grief refers to the psychological reaction to the bereavement, the death of a loved one. When a person dies who has been a close companion and with whom we have had a close bond with, many changes in our life have to be taken in. Death of a long-term partner can force on us a need to redefine ourselves and it is not an easy task. Grief becomes a problem when someone gets stuck in grief, this is know as “complicated grief” or “chronic grief”. Factors that contribute to this include a lack of family support and remaining overly focused on past memories. Returning to normal everyday activities is the most obvious sign that the grieving stage is over.
Typically there are five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. When a close loved one is violently murdered, this is one of the most severe obstacles that someone can face. This can quickly lead to the second stage of grief which is anger. In comics, this can lead to someone becoming a superhero or supervillain, but in real life, emotions can get the best of a person and this can lead to a person doing something out of anger such as murdering someone else in retaliation of their loved one’s murder. There are various ways people can deal with grief in real life and the most common ways is to talk to someone such as friends or family because keeping all of those emotions bottled up can cause a person to have a
Coping wth the loss of a loved one either by death or just letting them go impacts peoples everyday lives dramatically. People experience all kinds of difficult emotions and it may feel like the pain and sadness you are experiencing will never let up. It can also alter a persons belief and perspectives on life and religion. Religion and belief help us move forward, "In the end, or look below the picture, or follow the words to the next line: The way to begin is always the same as Hello." (15-17)
Grief is defined as a type of emotional or mental suffering from a loss, sorrow, or regret (Dictionary.com, LLC, 2010). Grief affects people of all ages, races, and sexes around the world. Approximately, 36% of the world’s population does or has suffered from grief and only a mere 10% of these people will seek out help (Theravive, 2009). Once a person is suffering from grief it is important to receive treatment. All too often, people ignore grief resulting in deep depression, substance abuse, and other disorders (Theravive, 2009).

why me? Of all people why'd you choose me? All the pain, the torture that you know I've been through and you still choose me to put more pain, more scars and the burden of death on. There is no more.. no more suffering.. no more trying.. only death.. this is my last goodbye before I exit the world..
In the first stage, denial, the world you have come to know becomes meaningless and overwhelming. The numbness starts setting into your body, and you try to just make it through the day.
