Grief therapy in Savannah is an effective approach to help you navigate the process of grieving. While grief is a natural human process, it's possible to get stuck in it, leading to complicated grief. Complicated grief is a mental health issue that can put a pause on your life’s goals and happiness. At Lifebulb, our grief therapy aims to honor the memory of your loved one while progressing out of complicated grief and toward acceptance.
In the initial stage of grief, it's common to struggle with disbelief and accepting the reality of loss. You may feel numb or experience a sense of unreality. It can be challenging to accept the finality of the loss, and this may lead to holding onto false hope that things will return to "normal."
Anger often arises as a response to grief and can take the form of frustration, resentment, or feelings of unfairness. You may find yourself angry at the person who passed away, yourself, or others around you. It's not uncommon to experience a sense of injustice or betrayal related to the loss.
During this stage, individuals may attempt to negotiate or make deals with a higher power in hopes of reversing or altering the loss. It may feel like you're trapped in a "no-win" situation, leading you to do whatever it takes to avoid pain.
Feelings of sadness, emptiness, and despair are prevalent during the depression stage of grief. You may experience a sense of hopelessness and lose interest in activities that once brought pleasure. It's not uncommon to feel guilty, as if you have let people down or failed them.
The final stage involves coming to terms with the loss and finding a way to move forward while still honoring the memory of your loved one. The loss may always stay with you, but grief will no longer have a hold on your life.
Grieving is a process that allows us to process loss and adjust to a life without our loved ones. It involves rewiring our brain to adapt to this new reality. However, grief also negatively impacts our thoughts and emotions through symptoms such as:
Grief not only affects our emotions and thoughts but also has physical manifestations. It's important to address these physical symptoms to promote holistic well-being. Grief therapy in Savannah can play a vital role in this process. Physical symptoms of grief include:
