4. The Grief Cycle
• There is no set order in this grief cycle
• People enter at one point and go back and
forth between the phases at random
• Someone may experience a phase more than
once
• Not everyone will experience all phases
• There is a danger when one gets ‘stuck’ in
one of the stages of the grief cycle
