Nicole Shooman: The Stages of Grief

Presenting my interpretation of The Stages of Grief, this collection explores the seven stages: shock, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, testing, and acceptance. Together, they form the delicate framework of our collective journey in learning to navigate life without those we’ve lost. The Stages of Grief extend beyond personal loss, encapsulating challenges when chapters end—relationships, careers, dreams, or stages of life. In this narrative, I share not just my grief but also aim to resonate with those facing similar challenges. Coping with the difficulty of losing someone or something dear is a universal human experience—an integral part of the intricate dance between love and grief. I seek to provide a platform for the audience to feel seen and connected as they reflect on their unique encounters with grief. I invite each of you to join me on a journey of love, pain, fear, anger, grief, doubt, and growth. Let us collectively take another meaningful step towards personal acceptance, bound by our shared humanity.
