Have you ever been stuck in one of the stages of grief discussed in this lesson? If so, what was helpful in moving you past that stage?

I can’t remember the stage I was stuck in but I do remember asking existential questions, bargaining and not accepting that what was happening was true. I experienced anger too when funeral land were being held bsck. Ultimately,my faith was born from this experienc e. The hope I now have too.

Yes, I got stuck at stage of anger and asked God why God didn’t God save at least my nephew from the accident .My nice and nephew both died at the same time.. It was ok to take one person but not two at the same time.
I turned to Bible to find answers and other people also helped me to make sense of it . God was present there. -
yes, i had complicated grief. Journaling to God and crying to him

Grief has been so hard to deal with in my situation as there were family issues involved which were never resolved. I would get so angry because of what my dad and mom did to my younger brothers and then I would feel sorry for my parents as it is clear there was abuse in their life. The cycle of anger, acceptance, and hope and then the feeling I am not really dealing with the grief of the loss as I am also dealing with the grief of not having a childhood I remember much of as the abuse was so harsh. This course has already helped me and I will share this information with my brothers; there is no right and wrong in grief. I am already beginning to sprint forward. This is awesome.

When my mother passed away I was stuck somewhere in the anger stage. I was also depressed. It was helpful for me to focus on something else and try to move on in my life. My mother passed in 1977 and periodically and I feel the lack of her presence and that was 45 years ago. It was helpful for me to talk to other people and to try to continue to enjoy the activities that I did before my mom passed away.
