Seven Stages of Grief

I was aware that people go through different stages when grieving. In the last class of Human Development this semester, it was briefly mentioned. It made me curious again and I decided to do some research to find out more. Grief is very personal and individual. Many people experience some if not all of these stages. The stages are not in order. Each stage can happen at different times and in different order.

The seven stages of grieving are

1. Shock or disbelief

2. Denial

3. Bargaining

4. Guilt

5. Anger

6. Depression

7. Acceptance & Hope
