Grief is a process that begins with the loss of a loved one. The bereaved person enters a state of withdrawal and goes through a complex emotional trajectory after the loss.

In this period, the person suffering from the loss often appears to be constantly sad, cries a lot, refuses to leave the house and loses interest in the activities he previously enjoyed.

Likewise, he or she may harbour a range of emotions and express them in ways that are not always rational: such as guilt, frustration, irritability, depression, grief, fear and hopelessness.

Regardless of the circumstances, the outcome should always be the same: overcoming grief. Even if it takes years to get over the death of someone who was very close to us, we have to eventually get over it if it doesn't end up becoming an unhealthy situation and can cause negative effects.

There are 5 stages of how to deal with grief:

1.    Denial

2.    Anger

3.    Negotiation

4.    Depression

5.    Acceptance

NEGATION

As a rule, the immediate reaction a person has when hearing news of the loss of a loved one is rejection. The person rejects believing that such a situation has happened.

Therefore, it is natural that this grief phase of denial takes hours, days or weeks to pass.

ANGER

Feelings such as anger, anguish, despair, fear, guilt, can constantly manifest in a person, sometimes making him aggressive and unable to accept the loss.

He may show these kinds of feelings through self-destructive attitudes, such as drinking excessively, being involved in conflicts, and such a person does not understand the seriousness of not only his actions but also the consequences it may involve.

NEGOTIATION

The negotiation phase with oneself is quite unmanageable. The thought that 'if I could I would have done things differently', is a way of relieving the pain he feels. Even if the person knows that there is nothing they can do to change the past back and bring their loved one back, they will always try to ease their pain by feeding that thought.

Even if she is aware of the impossibility of these feats, she feeds them to console herself.

DEPRESSION

Depression manages to be one of the most intense phases and is a feeling that can last for weeks, months or even years. The person becomes so attached to the pain that it serves as 'fuel' to fuel their depressive state.

It leads to constant crying, doubts and thoughts of certain times in life, isolation from friends and family, bouts of homesickness ... and to get back to their normal life is quite an uphill struggle.

This phase of mourning requires a lot of support and even psychological accompaniment.

ACCEPTANCE

The person understands his new reality and accepts the absence of the person who left. The feelings and anguish have been forgotten, resulting in a feeling of inner peace.

Acceptance means living peacefully with the loss, and dealing with the memories that you spent with that person creating only a feeling of nostalgia.

To overcome all these phases, the feeling that the best was done for a dignified farewell to the loved one can be a help. In this sense, Prodáver wants to provide the best products so that the respect for the loved one and the environment is maintained after his departure.
