Stages of Grief

Denial (D), Anger, Bargaining (B), Depression, and Acceptance: These 5 stages of the grief (5 Stages of Grief) often represent a lifetime process, not an end in themselves. Each stage, within The Cycle Of Griefmay re-occur throughout a person’s life, triggered by thoughts, memories, and events.

The process is as unique as you are.
