Grief is an emotional feeling we go through when we experience some kind of loss, such as a loss of a loved one, property, job or belief system. No matter what the loss is, the stages of grieving are usually the same. Within the next few years (2010-2013) most of us are going to experience many losses. The main reason for this is because we are going through a paradigm shift. This paradigm shift is going to cause many systems to collapse because a lot of them do not flow well with the Law of Creation. Some of these systems are the fiat monetary system, political system and energy system (oil, natural gas, nuclear, etc.) We are already seeing some major changes to these system. One of them is the soon to be collapse of the euros which will lead to the worldwide collapse of the fiat monetary system. As these changes become more intense, many of us are going to experience a lot of griefs because we are not prepare for them. Also, letting go is something that most of us have a hard time doing. We do not need to worry too much about the collapse of these systems because they will be replace by new and more efficient systems. Although, we should prepare for the collapse so we can move through it smoother. For more information on how to do this, please read this article.

The stress that we experience when we go through the process of grieving can be significantly reduce as long as we are not stuck in the first four stages of grief for too long. The sooner we get to the acceptance stage, the sooner we can overcome our grief and move on without experiencing painful emotions.

Five stages of grief

1. Denial: This is usually the first emotional response we get when we experience the loss of something important to us. Being in a state of denial for too long can make us delusional. It also empowers our ego which is the false self.
2. Anger: This stage of grief is usually the stage that causes us to experience a lot of painful emotions. It can also causes us to inflict pain to others. Anger just does not affect us emotionally but also physically. Anger can cause negative health effects on our body, such as cancer.
3. Bargaining: This stage of grief is the stage when we try to work something out to make the loss less stressful and painful. An example of this is when a married couple bargains between who gets what after being divorced.
4. Depression: This stage of grief is another painful stage to go through because it drains our energy by making us feel hopeless, sad and detach from reality. It is best to move past this stage as fast as possible because it can destroy our life.
5. Acceptance: This stage of grief is the stage when we make the decision to accept our loss. It is the process of letting go of the past. At this stage, we will realize that no amount of denial, anger, bargaining and depression will make up for our loss; therefore, it is best to move on.
