GRIEF
Over the century’s human beings and the World around them have been on the path of constant evolution and change. From living in houses made of clay, stone and timber to living in the houses made of concrete, bricks and even glasses, from sending letters via post to dropping a text on the social networking applications and sites, from wearing any cloth to cover yourself to wearing the most expensive brand you can afford so you can show yourself off, times have truly changed, but even with these changes two things have always been constant in the history of mankind, that is: Pain, and Grief.
We humans find depressing stuff way more relatable than the happy stuff, which is sad and really unfortunate but it is also very true.
This is also the reason why we get jealous of other people’s happiness; it is not that we don’t want others to succeed, it is just that we want that for ourselves too. Each and every one of us have fought a silent battle happening within ourselves to survive in this cold-hearted world, and all of us have been through excruciating pain and grief from time to time.
Some of us have experienced the death of a loved one, some of us has lost the job we worked so hard for, some of us have been through the most painful break up and have given up on the idea of love, some of us have been raised in an abusive household, some of us have had near death experiences and now we live in constant paranoia and fear, but most of us are just tired and all we want is just one moment of peace, just that one moment where our heart is not breaking time and again, and where our mind is not fighting to survive but is actually breathing to live.
It sounds nice, doesn't it? Just thinking about this moment brings a faded smile on our faces. As much as this sounds nice it also seems difficult, but it is also achievable all we have to do is go through five extremely agonizing stages of GRIEF, which are:
STAGE 1- DENIAL
The first and the most painless yet dangerous stage of grief, sometimes the magnitude of a trauma is so large that we build a fortress around ourselves mentally and even physically which keeps us isolated from the pain of that trauma.
STAGE 2- ANGER
After popping out of our bubble of denial we enter the stage of being filled with a monstrous amount of rage and anger. Every noise and every movement make us angry; we see a side of ourselves we haven’t seen before.
As we enter this stage, guilt takes over our anger. We constantly question ourselves with thoughts such as: - what more we could have done to avoid this, would spending more time or putting more effort change the situations.
STAGE 4- DEPRESSION
This is the deadliest stage of grief. Many people lose the battle they have been fighting for so long in this stage, they give up exactly when they are hardly an inch away from attaining that moment of peace that they have been longing for so long.
STAGE 5- ACCEPTANCE
This doesn’t necessarily mean that you will finally be happy, it doesn’t mean that the grief isn’t there anymore, it simply means that you have accepted the loss of that part of your life.
