LET'S EXPLORE🌿Understanding #Grief🌿 The Dual Process Model of grief, developed by Margaret Stroebe and Henk Schut, suggests that grief is a dynamic process of oscillating between 2 types of coping: loss-oriented, restoration-oriented. 1/10
💔Loss-Orientation💔 involves focusing on the pain of losing a loved one. This includes feelings of sadness, yearning, and longing. Acknowledge these feelings and give yourself permission to grieve. It's essential for healing. #grief #GriefSupport 2/10
