Five Stages Of Grief


There are five stages of grief. They look different on all of us but there are always five.

  1. Denial: This can't be happening, it just can't!
  2. Anger: This isn't fair! I want to hurt what did this to me!
  3. Bargaining: I would give anything to undo this!
  4. Depression: Why do I even go on?
  5. Acceptance: This has happened, and I can get over it.
