For you, mate:

There are 5 basic stages of grief:
1)Denial/Isolation
2)Anger
3)Bargaining
4)Depression
5)Acceptance

Even though these stages do represent a basic order, that most people experience periods of each stage until they finally reach a fairly consistent experience of acceptance. In other words, most people begin with denial/isolation (sometimes called 'shock'). Once the initial shock passes, the stages may seem to bounce around a bit . . . going from denial one minute, to anger the next, even to acceptance the next, then back to depression. Most find this experience to be quite unsettling and difficult to manage.

By beginning to take good care of yourself, you will find that each of the 1st 4 stages begin to last for shorter periods, and occur less and less often. Likewise, as this happens, you will find that the initial 'flashes' of acceptance happen more often and last longer and longer.

Be aware that just as with a burn or cut, healing involves pain.
