I read with interest your article. I studied loss for over 25 years and came to a similar conclusion that you put forward that there is no right way to grieve only “your way” and no stages to be negotiated. I have witnessed a remarkable ability of most people to negotiate grief well and thrive after loss. But I would strongly challenge the notion put forward by Dr Bonanno that most people have a short ( up to a few weeks of emotional pain) period of emotional pain. This is just simply not the case – certainly not in the UK. If you are at all interested here is a TED talk I did about loss:
