5 stages of Grief

• Denial
• Anger
• Bargaining
• Depression
• Acceptance

The five stages, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost. They are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling. But they are not stops on some linear timeline in grief. Not everyone goes through all of them or in a prescribed order. Our hope is that with these stages comes the knowledge of grief ’s terrain, making us better equipped to cope with life and loss.

this triggered. as i was watching one of the episodes of the Revenge series. is it really true? does it actually happen to everyone whenever they lose anyone by death? of course. you begin to pause and wonder. the stages of grief. there may be possibilities. there may be impossibilities. boom. feels like as if someone pulled the trigger towards me. oh gosh. i remembered how i lost my late grandfather. its as clear as ever. how everything felt. how all of us cried until there were no more tears left. i remembered how my grandmother fought and was in denial. how some of us actually had anger in ourselves. how we all quietly bargained so he could stay a lil while in this world with us. how all of us were depressed with his absence and how we missed him dearly. and how it took awhile for us all to accept his loss and his absence. and how we all managed to pull everything together and move on with life. it was quite difficult for us though. however, this is life. somehow, someday everyones gonna leave this world too. its He that determines our path. all we need to do is live life by surviving and praying. sounds easy but we're all struggling with our lives. 

ever wondered how or what if we were able to talk to the ones on the other side? a special mobile or something that connects the line to the other side. we would be able to know how they are and how it is on the other side. we would be able to seek them for questions and answers. how lovely would that be? life can be a bitch itself cant it? everyone wants answers dont they? 

all those science freaks say 2012 will be the end of the world. well what are we doing here still? living our lives as normal as ever. most people take things for granted. yes we all wana die. but no one wants to go to hell. however, do they even pray? saying is easy isnt it? but do they ever walk the talk? or are they just plain words? isnt it as similar to relationships? when the partner already has so called "the-one" they go looking for another one due to their stupidity. they'll only realise later on and regret wanting to come back, crawling and begging. diamonds dont just come that easy honey. please. you find 'em and keep em. not throw em back in the sea for some other snorkelers to find that pretty lil diamond. 

till then,

lotsa love,
