five stages of grief

and tis is the part where i bow my head and act like a lady till the end... goodbye, as they usually say it...

According to Elizabeth Kubler Ross, when we are dying, or have suffered a catastrophic loss, we all move through 5 distinct stages of grief. We go into denial, because the loss is so unthinkable; we can’t imagine it’s true. We become angry with everyone, angry with survivors, angry with ourselves; then we bargain. We beg, we plead, we offer everything we have; we offer up our souls in exchange for just one more day.
When the bargaining has failed, and the anger is too hard to maintain, we fall into depression; despair; until finally we have to accept that we have done everything we can. We let go; we let go and move into...Acceptance.
