I’m still resting in the depression stage. As mentioned the stages do not flow in a specific order. Arriving at acceptance came before depression which, in my opinion has many paths and levels. I haven’t moved past depression, however, I am moving through. Having the freedom to talk about perceptions and feelings help, but patience with me allowing myself to feel what I feel makes navigating the process and passages of depression much easier. -
No, I have never been stuck in any particular stage. The losses that I have suffered thus far have been my mom and dad, all four grandparents, a great-grandmother, and now most recently, a son. In all of the previous losses, I naturally ended in a stage of acceptance. The loss of my son Joseph is still so fresh, but there is a peace from God that abides.

Shock – it took me a while to get over the initial shock of my brothers death. My faith and friends were very helpful.
