Grief and Loss Understanding - The five stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance) are not linear or experienced in a fixed order [1][2][4] - Grief is not something to be graded on or expected to go away; emotions accompanying grief are not linear and may appear unexpectedly [2] - Depression, in its various forms, can appear throughout the grieving process [7][8] - Bargaining can involve oneself, the universe, or another person, often leading to blame and self-doubt [9][10] - Anger is a normal reaction to the injustice of loss, whether directed at oneself, the deceased, or others [15] - Acceptance is not about moving on or forgetting, but about living with the consolation of having loved deeply [18] High School and Grief - High school can be seen as a "funeral for your childhood," marking the transition to independence [3] - The initial idealized view of high school often clashes with reality, leading to denial [5][6] - Junior year is a time when self-doubt and bargaining become prominent, impacting how stress is handled [10][11][12] - Senior year can involve regression, stemming from anger and fear of the unknown future [13][14] Perspective on Grief - Comparing or judging someone else's grief is unproductive [18] - The stages of grief are not a competition or a measure of how well someone has loved [19]
