People spend a copious amount of time dealing with the loss of a loved one, some taking weeks to move past overwhelming grief, and others taking months or even years without being able to face the loss. During this time there is a process called the 5 stages of grief; starting with denial and isolation, moving on to irrational anger, then bargaining, then depression, and finally acceptance. These steps also may can be switched around in order and some may take longer than the other, depending on the individual. Some people will also be more open with these stages, clearly displaying them and their triumph over them; however, others may deal with these steps on the very inside in different ways. Many people while having lost a loved one go through their own personal grieving. These 5 steps of grieving helped me learn the basic process by which people get over a loss, and how they deal with the death of a loved one. This is essential in finding how people react and change based of a death of someone close to them.
