      - GRIEF
        
        STAGES:
        
        Denial
        
        Denying it gives you time to more
        gradually absorb the news and begin to process
        
        common defense mechanism and
        helps numb you to the intensity of the situation.
        
        however, the emotions you’ve been hiding will begin to rise
        
        Anger
        
        a masking effect
        
        your rational brain knows the object of your anger isn’t to blame, your feelings in that
        moment are too intense to feel that
        
        As the anger subsides,
        however, you may begin to think more rationally about what’s happening

        “quiet” stage of
        grief.
        
        You may also choose to isolate yourself from others in order to fully cope
        
        depression can be difficult and messy
        
        if you feel stuck
        or can’t seem to move past this stage talk with a mental health expert.
        
        Acceptance
        
        not necessarily a happy or uplifting stage of grief
        
        mean that you’ve accepted it and have come to
        understand what it means in your life now
        
        Look to acceptance as a way to
        see that there may be more good days than bad, but there may still be bad — and that’s OK.
