The 5 Stages

I just learned that theres 5 stages in the grief process.


Denial : The initial stage: "It can't be happening."
Anger : "Why ME? It's not fair?!" (either referring to God, oneself, or anybody perceived, rightly or wrongly, as "responsible")
Bargaining : "Just let me live to see my son graduate."
Depression : "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"
Acceptance : "It's going to be OK."

I think that this is pretty accurate because when my dad died i did go through most of these things.
