8-Stage Model of Loss:
a holistic “process of grieving”:
|
Stage 1:
Initial awareness of loss, high stressor, may constitute a threat to
body’s homeostasis
Stage 2:
Attempts to limit awareness by holding on: trying to limit feelings
of hopelessness and despair.
Stage 3:
Attempts at limiting awareness by letting go (recognizes personal
limits to coping with loss)
Stage 4:
Awareness of the extent of loss, stage most readily recognized as
mourning
Stage 5:
Gaining perspective on the loss, acceptance
Stage 6:
Resolving the loss—a time of forgiveness, farewell, finishing
business
Stage 7:
Reformulating loss in a context of growth, an outgrowth of resolving
grief
Stage 8:
Transforming loss into new levels of attachment—reintegration of
physical, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and spiritual aspects of
a person.
