The Fear of Bereavement Analyzing the five stages of grief is something most people don't want to do. I say this because most people are. I try to avoid talking about death and/or pain as much as possible, I remember that since I was a child I feared death and becoming mature. However, being in a position that challenged me to face my personal fear of death, grief, and actually analyze the five stages of grief somehow started to intrigue me. Analyzing the phases of how we view death, spirituality and the growth of consciousness. Acceptance of this growth can guide us in the possibility of discovering why we are here in this world also known as life.
