Ive been seeing significant loss within my friends lately. I too have suffered loss both in my past and recently. This helped me... so Here is the grieving process as written from the text of my parenting course. I agree with it overall, but maybe not necessarily the order. Acceptance is the goal, but dont try to skip steps or you wont be able to achieve it! :) Denial describes an inability to believe something is true or a reality. This stage is commonly used as a way to cope with a loss by convincing oneself that nothing has actually happened or could happen. Anger is an emotion associated with feelings of resentment and hostility. This stage can be experienced by someone that chooses to focus on how they have been wronged, or done wrong, and these feelings are usually directed at oneself, others, or at a circumstance. Bargaining is the act of trying to negotiate your way out of the current situation. This bargaining can be internalized or can be done openly with others. Depression is when someone is in a state of great emotional dismay. One will often keep to oneself and will display much sadness. Depression is a state which, if prolonged, can be a serious mental health issue. Acceptance is the stage where one understands the reality of a situation and believes it to be true.
