GRIEF & MOURNING Counseling or Therapy? Grieving allows us to heal, to remember with love rather than pain It is a sorting process One by one you let go of things that are gone And you mourn for them One by one you take hold of the things that have become part of Who you are and build again --Rachel Naomi Remen In Worden, 2009

Grief Normal Mourning Loss Energy >>>> Crescendo (usually tearfulness) Desensitize Recovery (remembrance with love instead of pain) Energy >>>>

Grief Normal Mourning Remembrance of the LOSS Energy >>>> Crescendo (usually tearfulness) Desensitize Recovery (remembrance with love instead of pain)

Grief Normal Mourning Energy >>>> Crescendo (less tearfulness) Desensitize Recovery (remembrance with love instead of pain) Remembrance of the LOSS

Complicated Bereavement & Mourning Loss Energy >>>> Crescendo (usually tearfulness) Desensitize Recovery (remembrance with love instead of pain) Fear and muscle constriction No Desensitization No Resolution Avoidance Bewilderment/Hopelessness Depression Suffering

PROBLEM to SOLUTION RELAXATION Remembrance of Loss + Relaxed Body = Desensitization and lessening of pain NARRATIVE Telling Story of Loss (Eulogy)+ Relaxed Body = Relegating Loss to the Past + Remembering with Love (instead of Pain)

Resolution Loss Energy >>>> Crescendo (usually tearfulness) Desensitize Recovery (remembrance with love instead of pain) Fear and muscle constriction Soften Muscles in Body Lower arousal Confronting pain Desensitizing fear Resolving grief

Three Steps to Resolving Grief 1.Supportive Relationship (must have people who we can turn to in our pain and who can listen without anxiety) 2.Relaxed Body (regulation by softening muscles) 3.Telling our Story (Narrative IS integration and relegates loss to the past allowing us to remember with love)
