Analysis of Grief
Miles Ohman 2009
There are at least five known stages of grief.
The first: Denial. I said "I'm fine" and everyone, including myself, believed it.
The second: Anger. I pushed everyone away out of resentment and hatred of myself.
The third: Bargaining. I asked for pills to feel better. Any medicine to make me numb.
The fourth: Depression. I couldn't handle it so I just stopped trying.
The fifth: Acceptance. I finally accepted it. I truly lost myself.
