Processing Loss

Loss affects everyone at one time or another, under different circumstances. We all grieve in ways known only to each individual, there are no right or wrong ways of doing it. People process loss according to how they were taught when younger, or how they observed others grieving throughout their own lives. As long as the grief is there, go through it's experience, there are seven stages of it, we experience them in different orders sometimes repeating some of them. In the end nothing is set in stone, approximate times are often between the loss and two years, before being able to begin living with a new normalcy in life. One thing loss does to everyone is change them somehow within, once experienced, great loss will have a definite effect and a person will be permanently changed within. There is no explanation for it, that is just what happens to people after going through loss.
