DON'T BELIEVE IT

Recently and more in the past, I've read or heard that there are 5 stages of grief.

This is not true.

The actual five stages they are talking about are the stages one goes thru when confronted with a terminal illness or other catastrophic encounter.

Here they are:

The five stages, denialangerbargainingdepression and acceptance are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost. They are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling. But they are not stops on some linear timeline in grief.

Above is copied....

This is not copied:
Grief is individual.
Grief is unknown.
Grief does not follow the same path for every one.
Grief depends on the relationship while living.
Grief is not a list of stages.
Grief may last your entire life.
Grief changes and then changes back.

Don't expect grief to be something you can overcome.  It is a life long track.  There is hope.  
Heaven is real.
Heaven is eternal.
Heaven is thru Jesus Christ.

Seek and ye shall find.
Grief will end when Heaven appears.
