Loss and Grief: Pt. 4 – Relinquishing Control
In this video, the stage of bargaining is discussed and how it relates to control. We try to control situations that are uncomfortable, painful and seemingly out of control. However, our human ability can only go so far.
Relinquishing control to God helps us to reduce anxiety about losses that we had and have no control over. When we stop expecting our ability to fix the situation or change it, we are more capable of accepting reality and healing from the loss.
Remember - this is not prescriptive, but descriptive. Loss and grief are not as cut and dry as a 10 minute video makes it out to be - it's not a check-list, but a guide to help you navigate your own journey of grief.
