7. STAGE ONE DENIAL  In this stage people deny the severity of there situation  It’s a normal reaction for rationalizing overwhelming emotions.  A temporary response that carries us thru the first wave of pain.

8. STAGE TWO ANGER  Immense emotion is redirected and expressed instead as anger.  Anger may be aimed at inanimate objects, strangers, or friends and family.  Medical professionals are often targets for this type of anger.  Many times people will feel guilty for being angry which only manifests into more anger.

9. STAGE 3 BARGAINING  Is a weaker line of defense to protect us from the painful reality.  Examples would be statements such as “if we had sought medical attention sooner” “If only we got a second opinion from another doctor” “ if only we had tried to be better to them ”

10. STAGE 4 DEPRESSION  There are two types of depression related to mourning.  The first one is a reaction to particular implications relating to the loss. Sadness and regret dominate this type of depression.  The second type is more subtle and in a sense more private, between you and yourself.

11. ACCEPTANCE  Accepting the reality of the situation not everybody reaches this stage.  This phase does not necessarily bring happiness to a person.
