Those coping with bereavement will usually go through a number of stages, experiencing various emotions along the way:

  1. Accepting that their loss is real, experiencing a feeling of shock and numbness
  2. Experiencing the pain of grief, including unbearable sadness with lots of crying, tiredness and helplessness
  3. Feeling guilty and, or angry because of things that have been said and done or not said and done, and for being unfairly bereaved
  4. Adjusting to life without the person who has died and looking to the future

Grief often causes people to be distracted from their normal every day life. They may forget things and feel they can't concentrate. It is not a good time for them to be making life time decisions as they may regret them later.
