Do the 5 steps of grief happen in a particular order? I think I skipped denial altogether. I might have had a slight bought of depression. I'm not sure what bargaining means. I feel like I've pretty much accepted what's happened. So the only one left is anger. I am so angry. All. The. Time. 😡
Zach lied to me when he said Anger is a Gift.
@ThrasherPrime There is no order. The stages can happen at different times and at different depths. If you find that you are having difficulty functioning or if the emotions are interfering with your quality of life, then it might be time to talk to a professional. Sometimes one grief event triggers other memories or emotions. There is no judgment on the grief process... I hope that helps.
@ThrasherPrime , no, they don't. Not everyone processes stuff the same. To be honest, sometimes acceptance looks a lot like resignation in my life, in both meanings. Sometimes, I just accept and grimly push through, sometimes I quit pushing and pause. Sometimes it'll revisit you, this grief. It's rarely a straightforward thing.
We're listening. You are heard and cared about. 🫂👣
@ThrasherPrime I was angry for a year or more💧 straight...now zigzaggy.
Helps to let it out
@ThrasherPrime They can go back and forth, sometimes skipping one for a while, and the intensity can change. It's really more "these things make up the cycles of grief", less "5 Simple Steps to Get Out of Grief and Back to Being Shit On".
