The 5 stages of grief...

We've all seen in on tv,
whether it was on House M.D. or some other series
The 5 stages of grief.....
there's denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance

They said, that people don't have to go through all 5 stages,
neither do they have to go through the stages in sequence
this is just a regular pattern that people come across at some point in their lives.
or maybe, they are some who will never have to

Recently, I have been thinking a lot about these 5 stages
5 stages that one goes through,
when someone dies
when u are about to die
when u lose something dear
so long as there is grief involved....
there will be the words
1. denial
2. anger
3. bargaining
4. depression
5. acceptance

I'm no authority on these emotions
but I do understand it
I have definitely been in denial
been angry,
bargained with myself and perhaps even, the entity out there
may go into depression
and no matter what, still have to accept
acceptance is not an absolution
its just a fact
something that sneaks up and slaps you silly
