Have YOU Ever Experienced Loss?

Finding Peace After the 5 Stages of Grief

With the current times, you will be hard pressed to find someone who hasn’t been personally impacted by loss on some level or another. Loss can trigger a grief response to many different types of events. 

Have you ever experienced the loss of a pet, job, miscarriage, relationship, divorce, death, or something of great sentimental value to you etc.? of course you have, can you relate? of course, yes! you can I'm sure. We all have experienced at least one, if not all of these. Grief is a universal experience. The list of loss is endless. People grief differently however, so it is important to know this as we consider the 5 Stages of Grief. 

Have you ever experienced a deep sense of emptiness after the funeral and burial are over? Have you ever felt isolated and alone after all the condolences and well wishes have faded? 

Navigating our experience of emotional pain through loss and the feelings we have toward the person we lost is unique to each of us. 

The late Swiss-American Psychiatrist, Elisabeth Kubler Ross, coined a theory in 1969 that there are 5 stages of grief we typically navigate through, particularly, after we have experienced profound loss.

"The Kübler-Ross model” or the five stages of grief, postulates a series of emotions experienced by terminally ill patients prior to death, or people who have lost a loved one, wherein the five stages are: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.” Wikipedia"

Are YOU Experiencing Symptoms of Grief?

Grief symptoms may present in several different ways physically, socially, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. Some of the most common symptoms of grief are:
  1. Shock
  2. Crying
  3. Difficulty sleeping
  4. Rumination
  5. Headaches
  6. Anger
  7. Worry
  8. Anxiety
  9. Stress
  10. Loss of appetite
  11. Aches and pains
  12. longing
  13. Questioning the purpose of life
  14. Questioning your spiritual beliefs
  15. Feelings of detachment
  16. Isolation from friends and family
  17. Abnormal behavior
  18. Frustration
  19. Guilt
  20. Fatigue

The experience of grief forces us to progress from the denial stage, confront our fears in the anger, bargaining and depression stage and ultimately move forward toward the final phase of acceptance. Empowerment coaching is a transformational, powerful support tool during this vulnerable time. It will help you navigate through each of the 5 stages with emphatic support and guidance. Alternating through each of these grief stages with a supportive coach can take the feeling of aloneness out of the loss and the subsequent healing journey.

Empowerment coaching is designed to help you plan your life accordingly in ways that are most meaningful to you. Our goals and dreams are often born out of our challenges. The objective of my Empowerment Coaching is to help YOU! find hope in your own despair. It is designed to help YOU! move forward after experiencing loss and grief. It focuses on transforming YOUR life with support, encouragement and guidance and techniques to help you accomplish your desired outcome. 

Empowerment coaching will assist you in the “Walking Grief Out” process, (at your own pace). It is designed to help you adjust to each stage. It is a safe space to process any feelings which may arise during the "walking it out" process. You will experience spiritual transition and transformation as you grow from every stage.

Empowerment (Grief) coaching is a forward-thinking approach encouraging and supporting clients to get through transitions in their lives, one step at a time. Moving forward and looking ahead may be the main goal or challenge for most all while facing the probable pain of loss and grief. Imagine feeling alive and happy again! what would that look like and take for one to get there again? This is the life coach’s work.  

The process of grieving is totally subjective. It is an experience that is different for everyone. Outlined below are the 5 stages of grief Kubler-Ross believed were the most observed among people suffering from grief after loss.  

  • Week 1 - Denial
  • Week 2 - Anger
  • Week 3 - Bargaining
  • Week 4 - Depression
  • Week 5 - Acceptance

While I understand grief is an ongoing stage of development that can oftentimes be complex, this is only a 5-week course to plough through these separate stages with the purpose of ultimately cultivating perseverance, peace and purpose. This 5-week course covers one of the 5 stages, (each week), starting with week 1 Denial and ending in week 5 Acceptance.

You will be guided by ICF-licensed Coach Val to release limiting belief patterns & behaviors by adopting empowering ones

There is no specific timeframe to move through the 5 stages of grief. Whatever time it takes for you, it is normal. I want to help YOU! get over to the other side of YOUR own personal experience with bereavement, loss and grief so that YOU too can find the courage, hope and peace to move forward.

Loss is one of the most traumatic life events that impacts us all. There is no timetable for how long it will take to go through the preceding stages of potential grief after experiencing loss. Learning to live without our loved ones is an ongoing process. While some may start to feel better within a matter of weeks, it may take months or even years for others. 

I want to help you escape the emotional ravages of life’s inevitable circumstances with grief as you plough through each of these stages. There are typically 5 stages of grief we may all experience, but we may not experience these stages concurrently if at all for some people. But characteristically, the stages of grief begin with denial and end with acceptance.
