Even though the word 'stages' is the most common way used to describe the grief process, it seems to give the impression that the issues of grief are handled in an orderly fashion with a definite and identifiable beginning and end for each one.
Nothing is further from the truth. All 'stages' can be experienced in the course of just a short time. And even though you have worked through a stage, it can resurface again and again as the result of a comment by others, a situation you find yourself in, or any number of other circumstances.
The stages are Denial, Bargaining, Guilt/Anger, Depression and Acceptance/Hope.
Talking about how you feel and feeling those feelings are important. Stuffing them away will only cause them to surface later again to be dealt with.
Tony, feel at home here and come to talk about what is on your mind. We have an attentive ear to listen and not judge you for what you are feeling...we can learn from and gain insight from you. It so helps to get it out of your head and out on here or elsewhere...we are here for you.

THANKS FOR THE DETAILED RESPONSE. IM JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS MAJOR LOSS. THIS IS THE WORST TIME OR MY LIFE. THANKS FOR THE WARM WELCOME WOLF.
