The stages of grief are weird. I always thought there were 5 stages of grief but I linked the post above with 7 stages. Now that I'm in the thick of grief, there are probably a million stages.
I wish grief was a problem that could be solved. Like I could do the work & just be done cycling through the stages.
For me, working through grief is like spinning a wheel & landing on whatever emotions I'll feel that day. Just the other day, I was screaming in my car on the way home from somewhere. The emotion came out of the blue but when it hit, it hit hard.
Even though I can't control which emotions decide to come to light, I'm trying my best to face it & move on from each event so it stings a little less the next time it comes up.
