A VISUAL · THE MAP, NOT THE SCHEDULE

The Loop

Even the doctor who named the five stages of grief said they don’t happen in a straight line — here’s what the real shape looks like, and why it takes as long as it takes.

“Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.”

— Isaiah 40:1, KJV

“You don’t have to be in the “right” point on the loop — or finished with it — to be comforted.”

Reflection

  1. 1.Which point(s) on the loop have shown up for you lately, in any order?
  2. 2.Was your loss one you saw coming, or one that surprised you, or both?
