Expressive Trauma Integration - Dr. Odelya Gertel Kraybill
"Grief vs. traumatic grief
In life, we all experience different variations of grief. At some point or another, we will all lose people that we love, capacities that we used to have, jobs that were life-giving, locations that we once enjoyed. Kubler-Russ described grief as five stages: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance. We may experience these stages as a sequence or all at the same time, or we may experience only some of them. Grief is complex and each person has their own unique experience of it.
Traumatic grief, that is, the grief that accompanies loss that is unexpected, is different. Such a loss triggers post-trauma survival mechanisms in addition to the mourning of whatever was unexpectedly lost.
What degree of unexpectedness makes grief traumatic? That’s not definable. It varies from person to person."
