Working Thru Grief: Shock

Shock changes people.

In Episode One of the new Working Through Grief series, we’re talking about the first stage of grief — the numb, blurry, disorienting reality that comes after loss.

The phone call.

The hospital room.

The “this can’t be real” feeling.

The exhaustion.

The replaying of final moments over and over again.

From anticipatory grief and hospice goodbyes to sudden loss and the silence that follows, this episode is for the fresh griever, the lifelong griever, and anyone learning how to survive after goodbye.

Because whether grief came instantly or slowly… it still burns like hell.
