If there’s a common thread that links us together through loss, it’s that we all grieve<\/em>.

When we experience a major loss, whether it’s in Charleston, WV or in the surrounding communities, grief is the normal and natural way our minds and bodies react. Yet at the same time, there are common patterns people tend to share.<\/p>\n

Stages of Mourning<\/strong><\/p>\n

Psychologists feel that grief usually moves through a series of emotional stages, such as shock, numbness, guilt, anger and denial. Additionally, time always plays an important role in the\u00a0grieving process<\/strong>. As the days, weeks and months go by, the person who is experiencing loss moves through emotional and physical reactions that normally lead to acceptance, healing and getting on with life as fully as possible.<\/p>\n
