List two or three things or people that are important to you that you have lost. They can be recent or in the more distant past, but should be ones that you felt strongly about.
For each loss (event),
What was the progression of emotions that followed that loss? Did you experience denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and/or acceptance in the time after the event? Does your current state seem to fit one of those five conditions?
Describe how you experienced one or two stages for each event. What were the stages of grieving that really stood out for you for each event?
Did you progress through the stages in order?
Did you find yourself experiencing an “earlier” stage after having progressed to a “later” stage?
How has time affected your current emotion relative to the event?
Was there a need to forgive created in the loss? Where are you currently relative to that need to forgive, are you still holding on to some of the negative energy?
Do you believe it would be possible to learn to experience upsetting events without experiencing the emotional pain associated with the event?
