Starting the Journey: Your First Steps Toward Healing

Grief is a deeply personal journey that touches every aspect of our being—emotionally, mentally, and even physically. Although there’s no single path to healing, there are steps that can guide us toward a place of peace and renewal. In this blog, we explore three fundamental steps that can help you move from a space of pain to one of growth and acceptance.

The Six Needs of the Grieving: A Path to Healing and Meaning

When we think of grief, many are familiar with Dr. Elizabeth Kübler-Ross's five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. This framework, introduced in her groundbreaking book On Death and Dying, offers insight into the emotions often experienced after a loss. Yet, in reality, grief doesn’t always follow a linear path. We don’t move through these stages one by one, nor do we all experience them in the same way. Grief is highly individual, and so is the journey toward healing.
