I pretty much went through all those stages—denial, anger, bargaining, depression (I'll be there again when I write the check), and acceptance. The secret to a happy life is making the time between denial and acceptance ...

  • Coping With A Breakup Requires Time
    By: Jack Bush | - When a relationship ends, everyone involved hurts. No one will find coping with a breakup to be easy. Why the relationship ended does not factor into the fact that there is pain. A breakup is heartbreaking no matter why it happened. The pain of the past probably has you gun shy about the future, and all that pain must be let go. Walking out of a relationship can cause guilt. Being left behind in a relationship can hurt and cause anger toward the other person.

  • Grief Recovery Stages Summary
    By: Maurice Turmel PhD | - The stages of Death and Dying evolved by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross are often mis-identified as The Stages of Grief Recovery. In her schema, she came up with 1) denial, 2) anger, 3) bargaining, 4) depression and 5) acceptance as reactions to a diagnosis of terminal illness. Her stages only make sense when considered against that backdrop. As such, this configuration has nothing to do with the stages of grief recovery.

  • How To Deal With Murder Grief
    By: Maurice Turmel PhD | - Murder grief may be somewhat less difficult to deal with than suicide grief, simply because the answer to "why" always points to a third party rather than the deceased individual. Otherwise, the difference is akin to being hit in the head with a 5 pound sledge as opposed to a 10 pound sledge. Either of these will cause a lot of damage. The question of "why", in this case, leads us to try and understand the killer's motivation which rarely delivers a satisfactory answer.

But as everything else that has a beginning, so too, do they have an ending. Indeed the paradox of loss is at constant play with life: we are certain that everything ends but we are uncertain when i ...
