What is grief? Is it depression? Do you now have PTSD?


Does it have 5 stages with the final outcome Acceptance?


No, no and NO!


It is NOT depression or a disorder.


It does not have prescriptive stages, with the end point Acceptance.


It’s sadness. A human condition we are equipped to deal with and grow from.

Debra Pascoe: The author of A Cup of Black Coffee, When There's Nothing Left Savour Something speaks with Luke about defining your grief.
