Grief wheel
The document outlines the stages of grief according to a grief wheel model: I) Loss, II) Shock characterized by numbness and denial, III) Protest involving increased shock and anger, IV) Disorganization involving confusion and withdrawal, V) Reorganization involving trying new behaviors and finding meaning, and VI) Recovery as the final stage. Each stage is further explained by common symptoms experienced during that phase of grieving.
