Stages of grief 1. Denial. You do anything to distract yourself. 2. Isolation. Soon you'll get sick of company and would always want to be alone 3. Anger. You become angry, smash things, some even hurt themselves. 4. Bargaining. The idea that you are grieving starts to sink in and you might try to get back with your ex. Or if he or she is no longer alive, you'll start looking at old photos, old videos. You're bargaining with yourself "I'll feel better if i get to look at him. Just today" and spend the whole year looking at those picture every day. You know its pointless and you'll be hurting more thinking about him/her but you'd do anything to keep hold of him/her even if its only in memories. 5. Depression. You lose your passion for everything. Songs don't sound the same, food doesn't taste any good, you can't sleep or sleep too much, you cry a lot. 6. Last stage.. acceptence. You begin to come to terms with what happened and start to slowly pick up your shattered life off the floor. i've been there. We all have.
