A Natural

Reaction

Upon first hearing of the death of a loved one, it is a natural reaction to experience shock. In many ways, the shock and denial that one feels in the wake of this emotional trauma is very similar to the reaction to physical trauma. As the news washes over you, it is understandable how you might deny that it is happening. This coping mechanism may remain in place for minutes, days, or even weeks, as you grapple with your grief. You may find yourself waiting for the deceased to return. Denial provides a buffer from the reality of what has happened. In time, however, bewilderment and numbness give way to other stages of grief that pave the way for acceptance.

One of the primary feelings to accompany grief is confusion because the swelter of emotions we feel can be hard to sort out. It’s helpful, amidst this feeling, to have folks who care about you manage the logistics and bring you comfort and support. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME we understand how difficult the rollercoaster of emotions can be after a loss in the family. Call 347-3431 (233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton) 24-hours a day.

"Grief and disappointment give rise to anger, anger to envy, envy to malice, and malice to grief again, till the

whole circle be completed ”
