The five stages of grief.

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross :

                        Denial: “This can’t be happening to me.”

                        Anger: “Why is this happening? Who is to blame?”

                        Bargaining: “Make this not happen, and in return I will ____.”

                        Depression: “I’m too sad to do anything.”

                        Acceptance: “I’m at peace with what happened.”

“These were never meant to help tuck messy emotions into neat packages. They are responses to loss that many people have, but there is not a typical response to loss, as there is no typical loss. Our grieving is as individual as our lives.” EKR

“At thirty man suspects himself a fool; Knows it at forty, and reforms his plan; At fifty chides his infamous delay, Pushes his prudent purpose to resolve; In all the magnanimity of thought Resolves; and re-resolves; then dies the same” Edward Young ( 1683 – 1765 ) was an English poet, best remembered for Night-Thoughts.
