Grief:                   The internal, automatic, unlearned response to loss.

 

Mourning:            “Going public” with your grief – in the presence of others.

 

Denial:                 A gift that gives us time to gather internal and external

                             resources to confront the enormity of our loss.

 

Creating A Plan: Choose to consciously participate in your own transformation.
