Nearly 5000 views and NO comments? Good grief! Just remember that the person you grieve for loved you more than you will ever know. Therefore, they would not want you to be sad. I know it’s damn hard, but that’s only because you care so, so very much. x .

Shock and disbelief- Refusal to accept or accept a loss. astonishment. Accepting the situation intellectually but denying it emotionally.

Awareness development. The reality of the loss begins to seep into consciousness. There may be anger directed at the nursing, medical and other staff.

restitution return phase. Adapting to the new life without the deceased. There is a new rise of hope and a renewal of vigor and energy that is directed towards building the new life. A solution to the loss. Trying to deal with the painful emptiness. Inability to love new objects or people in place of the lost ones. Thinking and talking about the memories of the loss.

idealization Creating images of a lost object or a lost person as lacking negative characteristics. Repressing any negative or hostile emotion towards the loss. Reminder about the loss - evokes less feelings of sorrow.

outcome. The behaviors are influenced by various factors: The importance of loss as a source of support and the degree of dependence on relationships. Ambivalence towards the loss The number and nature of other relationships and other coping with grief.

I lost my only child to suicide just two months ago. He was 34 years old. The pain is awful. When I lost my mom six years ago the pain was awful too. but losing a child I believe is the worst kind of pain to go threw. I just feel so sad, tired and can cry at any moment. Day or night. :(

No offense to anybody, but I find this theory/model/whatever-it-is to be useless.
