On Death and Dying (including relationship breakup and career loss): The Five Stages of Grief

It’s been said that the ALL 5 stages MUST be completed before any permanent healing can be had. The stages may not come in order and may be repeated several times. Some people also never heal because they get stuck!
Example Loss of Job (fired)

  1. DENIAL — I don’t believe it. This isn’t happening. I will wake up tomorrow and it will be all just a bad dream. Next month: still not looking for work and hoping to get a call to be re-hired!
  2. ANGER — “shove it! I didn’t need this stinking job anyway.”
  3. BARGAINING — “maybe if I tell them I will work for free until they see again how they couldn’t possibly let me go!”
  4. DEPRESSION — “It’s no use. I’m a failure and they know I’m a failure”.
  5. ACCEPTANCE — “You know, this is actually a great thing that I’m not working there anymore. I’m thankful what I have learned from the past and it’s time to move on.There are opportunities out there for me and I’m going to go get one of them. “

One solution to feeling better is to a big cry or — TEAR

T = To accept the reality of the loss
E = Experience the pain of the loss
A = Adjust to the new environment without the lost object
R = Reinvest in the new reality

A reader, like myself, can help seekers in the healing process; however, it’s important to note that psychics may not licensed to coach, counsel, or consult in a particular field (i.e. grief counseling) and it may be wise to consult a licensed professional while at the same time keeping yourself open to a psychic reading.
