5 Stages of Grief

1.Denial 
2.Anger/Resentment 
3.Bargaining 
4.Depression 
5.Acceptance

I am currently going through these stages.

For 3 equally important, yet separate issues.

Once you realize what stage you are in,you just want to get to the next one.

What if the next one never comes?

We tend to associate about steps or stages with a timeline.

A baby's milestones, high school, gardening, etc.

Knowing things have an ending makes the process bearable.

Anyone who has attempted to get a child to sleep through the night, or has waited for one single tooth to break through sore gums, didn't go completely insane because we are told it will pass.

What will happen if I never move on to Acceptance?
