What is the acceptance stage of grief?
The acceptance stage of grief is the stage that we will often go through after we have experienced many of the other stages and people have a lot of misconceptions about acceptance. Acceptance is really acknowledging the loss as a reality. People will think sometimes to find acceptance they have to be ok with the loss happening, or they have to like it. We’re never going to like a loved one dying, we’re never going to be ok with a loved one’s death. So just know that acceptance is really about the fact that a loved one has died and you accept that reality, as hard as that may be, you do acknowledge it as permanent and real.
