Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Depression
Acceptance
1-Denial-"this can't be happening to me", looking for the former spouse in familia places, or if it is death, setting the table for the person or acting as if they are still in living there. No crying. Not accepting or even acknowledging the loss.
2-Anger-"why me?", feelings of wanting to fight back or get even with spouse of divorce, for death, anger at the deceased, blaming them for leaving.
3-Bargaining-bargaining often takes place before the loss. Attempting to make deals with the spouse who is leaving, or attempting to make deals with God to stop or change the loss. Begging, wishing, praying for them to come back.
4-Depression-overwhelming feelings of hopelessness, frustration, bitterness, self pity, mourning loss of person as well as the hopes, dreams and plans for the future. Feeling lack of control, feeling numb. Perhaps feeling suicidal.
5-Acceptance-there is a difference between resignation and acceptance. You have to accept the loss, not just try to bear it quietly. Realization that it takes two to make or break a marriage. Realization that the person is gone (in death) that it is not their fault, they didn't leave you on purpose. (even in cases of suicide, often the deceased person, was not in their right frame of mind) Finding the good that can come out of the pain of loss, finding comfort and healing. Our goals turn toward personal growth. Stay with fond memories of person.

Hi there,
Some people consider denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance, as the stages of what is commonly referred to as the "grief cycle".
Some researchers consider Shock and Numbness, Yearning and Searching, Disorganization and Despair, and Reorganization as the components of greiving.
Needlesstosay, grieving is a complex multi-faceted response to loss.

I am not sure what the five are for sure, but arn't they denial, grief, anger...honestly I can not say what they are, but I am sure I have been through it many times. All I know is that God can help you if you are dealing with this. He has helped me through alot in my life, and without Him, I would be so lost.
