No, I'm not talking about grief in the way you think I am. I'm talking about the grief you feel after someone dies.
Toady I cancelled all my plans, and headed off to a funeral. A family friend, of the age of 20, had died from a rare brain tumor named glioblastoma. She died on October 26, 2017 and the funeral was today, at 11:30am.
Now, I'm not the type of person you'd see crying at any sort of event, but her death hit me like a brick wall.
This brings me to the first stage of grief.
1) Not believing it's true.
I'm still having troubles wrapping my head around the tragic event, and I'm sure many of you have had a family member/ friend die before.
2) Coming to reality
Now, I haven't hit this stage yet, but I have in the past when my Papa died a long time ago. This normally happens about 2-3 weeks after the funeral. You start to feel like and know the person who passed is dead.
3) Blaming everyone around you
This is probably one of the hardest stages to pass. You start blaming everyone for this person's death, whether is be your friends, your family, or even any religious figure, God, for say. This can have a big impact on your life, as you start to push people away from you. I can assure you though, this is normal when grieving.
4) Hiding your feelings/emotions
When this happens, you can become very seclusive and emotionally unstable. You will start to cry more, as you continue to wrap your mind around the death of this person. This is also when you start to hide yourself from others, as an act of self-defense.
5) Pushing it all away and accepting it
One of the hardest steps to come by is definitely step 5. You have to tell yourself that this happened for a reason, and you must accept the fact that it happened. It's like holding on to a flower for far too long. The petals start to wilt and fall off, eventually becoming moldy. Once this step is overcome, you will have faced death right in its eyes, and said "I accept you."
Thanks for reading again you guys! It's definitely appreciated, because you guys are all amazing and wonderful people, and I'm glad to be apart of this wonderful community.
Bye bye, see you tomorrow, salute the gods, don't eat yellow snow.
