Currently in Denial
The Five Stages of Grief (Kübler-Ross Model) Denial : A defense mechanism that buffers the immediate shock of loss, causing feelings of numbness or disbelief. Anger : As denial fades, reality sets in, often bringing frustration, resentment, and a search for someone or something to blame. Bargaining : An attempt to regain control or reverse the loss through "what if" or "if only" thoughts, often negotiating with a higher power or oneself . Depression : A deep, overwhelming sense of sadness, loss, and loneliness. It is a normal reaction to intense pain, not necessarily a mental illness. Acceptance : This stage does not mean the loss is "okay" or forgotten, but rather that it is acknowledged and the individual is beginning to move forward with their life. I do not think I will ever get to stage 5. dbee :'(
