The seven stages of grief

@fmf said
Shock. Denial. Anger. Bargaining. Depression. Reconstruction. Acceptance.

Is passing through ALL seven of them inevitable?

Can the stages happen in a different order?

Dr. FMF strikes again.

I wasn't aware FMF had asked Suziannes opinion.
Are you interested in her opinion?

"Doctor"? What makes you say that?

I would be more interested in Suziannes opinion than I would in fmf's or yours as far as that goes. 🙂

That is why I asked her. If you stop yapping she might be able to get a word in. 😉 😛

Just tell fmf to be quiet, it probably will not work. 😛 🙂

I think everyone who deals with grief, deals with it in their own way.

My dad passed just before Covid hit and it was a bit of a shock, but he'd been living with cancer for a while, so not an extreme shock.

Denial? Anger? Bargaining? Depression? Reconstruction? Not sure I ever went through those (unless I'm still in denial).

Acceptance, yup. I got there.

Yes, grief is one of those journeys that doesn't have a definitive route. Experiencing the sudden death of a loved one can often bring additional baggage that needs unpacking, like guilt for example. (Perhaps the last encounter hadn't been a pleasant one or important things had been left unsaid). - From experience, some people also get stuck in one particular phase of grief, depression being a good example of this.

Sorry though to hear of your loss. (Same goes to anyone in this thread who has experienced likewise).

That's wrong on so many levels.
