Garden of Grief: Cultivating New Life After Loss

Part 1: The Stages of Grief

In the first part of the book, Wright explores the different stages of grief. She explains that grief is not a linear process, and that we may experience different stages at different times. The five stages of grief are:

1. Denial: This is a state of shock and disbelief. We may feel like we are in a dream, and we may have difficulty accepting that our loved one is gone.
2. Anger: This is a natural reaction to loss. We may feel angry at our loved one for leaving us, or we may feel angry at the world for being unfair.
3. Bargaining: This stage is often characterized by a sense of guilt. We may feel like we could have done something to prevent our loved one's death, or we may bargain with God or a higher power to bring our loved one back.
4. Depression: This is a period of deep sadness and despair. We may feel like we have lost all hope, and we may withdraw from the world around us.
5. Acceptance: This is the final stage of grief. It does not mean that we are happy about our loved one's death, but it does mean that we have come to terms with it. We may still feel sadness from time to time, but we are able to move on with our lives.
