Grief is a process that takes time. It is not something that can be rushed or forced. There is no timeline for grief, and everyone grieves in their own unique way.

In her book, Dr. Delaney outlines the five stages of grief:

Denial: This is the stage where we refuse to believe that the loss has happened. We may try to convince ourselves that our loved one is still alive or that the loss is not real.
Anger: This stage is characterized by feelings of anger and rage. We may be angry at the person who died, at ourselves, or at the world.
Bargaining: This stage is where we try to make deals with God or with ourselves. We may promise to do anything if only we can have our loved one back.
Depression: This stage is characterized by feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and emptiness. We may feel like we have lost all meaning in life.
Acceptance: This is the final stage of grief. It is a stage of acceptance and peace. We may not feel happy about the loss, but we come to terms with it and move on with our lives.

It is important to note that not everyone experiences all five stages of grief. Some people may skip stages or experience them out of Free Download. There is no right or wrong way to grieve.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to coping with grief. However, there are some general tips that can help:
