Stages of Grieving
Grief counselors encourage the bereaved to call on family and friends for support as they undergo the shock, sadness, anxiety, and isolation that inevitably follow a loss. Especially in the early days of shock, it's important to enlist help for daily tasks, like child care or elder care, which can suddenly seem so impossible.
After the shock come tears. "We may have cried before this, but now it's an intense sadness," explains grief counselor Marianne Kelly of the dramatic emotional release which often follows the first stages of grieving.
