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?
-
The first stage of shock had me for a long time. I was just numb. Eating, sleeping and going through the motions of planning a funeral felt so robotic. I couldn’t believe these things were happening and I didn’t want the realization of it all to be true. I was stuck there for a while. The feeling that my nephew would call or knock at the door still seemed quite possible. The only thing that helped move past that stage was time. Realization that he wasn’t coming back and the world kept revolving without him in it. There was nothing I could do or say that would change the present. You pretty much are forced to continue on. Bills still need to be paid and life continues to life.

I was stuck in anger for years after my mom died. It affected my kids as I became depressed. It was a horrible way to live for a very long time. Only God, time helped me move past that stage.
