At H Logue & Sons Funerals in Wellington, we appreciate that people deal with grief in different ways. Grief is natural and something to be worked through. However, especially if it is debilitating, it’s important to know that you don’t have to suffer alone. Many people avoid talking about their grief out of a fear that others will ‘get sick of them’. But dealing with this extremely potent emotion in silence can lead to more harm than good.

We believe in empowering our clients with strategies to manage each stage of the grieving process. Though death may end a life, it certainly doesn’t end a relationship. Though the process may take many weeks or even years, there is a point where catharsis can be reached and the memory of the loved one can be retained while the griever goes on to live a happy, productive life.

Contact us today on (02) 6845 1946. The chapel we regularly facilitate services at – St Andrew's Chapel – runs grief and bereavement seminars.

The Stages of Grieving

Though the process naturally varies from person to person, the stages of grief typically run as follows:

Shock: A period in which we are numbed by emotions.
Reactions: After the shock wears off, you may experience loss of appetite, chest pain, headaches, etc.
Sadness & loneliness: Which will naturally occur as you reflect on your relationship with the deceased.
Guilt: This can sometimes pertain to worrying about the things that ‘might have’ been said or done while the person was still living. Anger may also result from guilt.
Recovery: This involves entering into a process in which the emotions associated with grieving can be channelled in productive ways.
