The Five Stages of Loss

Five Stages Of Grief
1. Denial and Isolation.
At first, we tend to deny the loss has taken place, and may withdraw from our usual social contacts. This stage may last a few moments, or longer.
2. Anger.
The grieving person may then be furious at the person who inflicted the hurt (even if she's dead), or at the world, for letting it happen. He may be angry with himself for letting the event take place, even if, realistically, nothing could have stopped it.
3.Bargaining.
Now the grieving person may make bargains with God, asking, "If I do this, will you take away the loss?"
4.Depression.
The person feels numb, although anger and sadness may remain underneath.
5.Acceptance.
This is when the anger, sadness and mourning have tapered off. The person simply accepts the reality of the loss.



Anger... where I am. Grief, of a loss, doesn't always mean death. I've lost alot of things in the past few years, and mostly, the people I care about... well I feel angry about it. I don't know how to get over the anger.

I'm angry at them, but mostly angry at myself. Angry for fucking up. Angry for the things they do say to me when I do talk to them, or the things they don't. I'm angry over the choices I've made, as well as the ones they've made.

None if it really seems to matter in the long run. Thats life right, If I don't like it change it... (something someone said.... to me...)
