Searched: Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross states that there are five stages of grief. I absolutely recognize that I went through at least three of them. The other two I might have gone through also but it is hard to remember feeling those stages. The first stage was denial and isolation. I remember denying that my grandma was dead and not wanting to go to school or talk to my friends. The next two stages were anger and bargaining. I don't ever remember feeling angry or wanting to do something that would take the pain away. The fourth stage was depression. I know I wasn't completely depressed but Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross also says that people feel numb during this stage and that was exactly the feeling I had. The last stage was acceptance. I did after a while come to grips with not having my grandma in my life anymore.
