Human nature is to grieve

Dealing with loss the 5 stages of grief

As humans we are dealt with a considerable amount of loss. Whether the loss is as simple as losing your favourite materialistic item or much greater to the point of death we never seem to truly recover. The loss chips away at our souls piece by piece and creates a space where we send all our grief and bitterness to. We lock it away and add to it throughout the years but in one fleeting moment we are reminded regardless of time passed how painful that moment was and all the pain floods its way back to bring with it new regret and sorrow.

 

Human nature is to deny. The fact that it actually happened. We use deductive reasoning pulling at all the bazaar possibilities there could be that would conclude to this loss. Human nature tells us we have to see it to believe it but it doesn’t make it easier when we do.

 

Human nature is to fight. In that moment that we are told that this is real that we know what we’ve seen can’t be a lie we fight. Anger builds up within us until the only colour we see is red. Nobody’s words can calm us down because they don’t know what it feels like they have no idea the pain and torture that is going on in our hearts. We feel an over whelming urge to run to get away from these people who think they can offer comfort when nothing will suffice. The fact that we’ll never be able to speak, touch or see each other again is unbearable.

 

Human nature is to bargain. To beg and plead that there must be a way out of this reality. We would do anything, give anything and sacrifice what we must to not let this be true! To wake up and know that this was all a bad dream and finally accept that what we have to offer is not enough.

 

Human nature is to grieve. We go into a state where we no longer feel a sense of time, we feel nothing to the point that the days blur together into a cloud of alternatively reality which we wish we weren’t part of. We feel comforted by sleep as it’s the only place we can be together and see each other again, if only for a fleeting moment it’s enough to make the waking hours bearable.

 

Human nature is to accept. We have come to a point where the anger has diminished. To the point where we have to accept that no amount of hate, bargaining or isolated days will bring them back. We accept that to live in fear of tomorrow will be an insult to their memory that they would not have wanted us to stand on the sidelines of life but to take centre stage. To take comfort in the fact that they will always be there on the sidelines watching, protecting and never forgetting.
