Grief is a powerful thing. Whether we fully understand it or not, it affects us almost daily. We feel the weight of it, we feel its influence. It doesn’t matter if grief arrives from a large traumatic event or a small minuscule one, it is surrounding us. Grief can help us contort our reality into something more manageable, or make us lash out at someone to release emotion, but it is not to be ignored. Over the course of this blog series, you will begin to understand and process your grief, harness its emotional energy, and arrive at a place of healing and acceptance.

This blog series was adapted from the Kübler-Ross Model of the five stages of grief. For more information, check out Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's book On Death and Dying here.
