Good Mourning

Grief is represented by five stages of emotions, according to the Kubler-Ross model. The "five stages of grief," as we call them, are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. However, the fact that the truth lies in these stages is the source of its inaccuracy.

What if you skip the denial and go straight, head-on, to depression. That’s a very plausible notion, don’t you think? What if your denial is later transformed into acceptance, skipping the paths in between? Finally, what if your journey begins with vengeance, bargaining, desperation, and, ultimately, a new beginning?

Different people, different paths, and different reactions. Not all of us are quite the same, and nor are we too different. Yet, when fate and demons dwell in the guise of human trampling with our life, our stages of grief vary.
