what are the stages of mourning thingy.

[herbster]

i didnt know how to phrase this question, but i want to define the stages a person goes through after the death of a loved one. I cant really remember the stages involved. it was such a long time ago.

 

[gh0st]

theres 5 of them

1. denial
2. anger.
3. bargaining
4. depression
5. acceptance

eh I must be still in the denial a year ago my cousin died and I really didnt care I guess thats cold hearted but it never hit me as something to cry about.

The theory has some supporting evidence but there is a large ammount against it as well.

yeah its like that with me too.

 

[mchammer75040]

yeah its like that with me too.

Yea weird how that happens. Who did you lose? Im not trying to be all macho saying I didnt cry cause Im to tough for that, it might have been that I barely knew the guy and it had no real affect on my personal life. Im out now, ill be back on later tonight.

grandma, and the bizarre thing about it was that i never did cry, even though i was really close to her.

and no, not sexually.

 

[herbster]

hey ghost, you'll be happy to know i will die, and i think the enguin whose name i forget is super cool. if you care. not really hey.

 

[gh0st]

the linux pengiun is called tux, and i dont really want you to die i just want a friend.

 

[Loshadka]

It's always like that with grand parents. People rarely cry and forget very quickly.

 

[herbster]

my, i want a friend too, you know what that means.....

 

[gh0st]

not really im sure it has something to do with our ages as well.

Probably Gay marriage. j/k

It's funny how the Kubler-Ross theory not only happens in dealing with death... but in everyday things as well. Sometimes I even catch myself going through it.

I was like that when my grandad died till the funeral, then I cried like a baby and wasnt even dismayed by the fact that everyone was watching me.

 

[herbster]

the strange thing is, i think i only got to the acceptance last year, after 13 years. not in some great big stupid "coming to terms with it" way. i just finally feel happy. and can you blame me?

My granny died today. She just passed away. Just old age prolly, she was 93. I am sad.

That sucks, at least you can take some comfort in the fact that she lived a long life.

May she (definitley maybe. track 3)(definitely maybe. track 4)

Does pets count too?

I had had Felix for 6 years, he was like a brother to me, he passed away this christmas.

My stages were

1. Sadness

2. Denial

3. More sadness

4. A tiny bit of anger...

He died from a heartattack when I was resting with him next to me in my sofa(literally) :\

What was felix? My dog's liver failed right while I was with him and he started fitting. He had to be taken to be put down and that sucked.

 

[Zakat]

He was a cat, the thing that hit me the most that he became only 13 years old, our previous cat had become 21(human years).

 

[Fat Tony!]

yeah its like that with me too.

And me! however i do get upset by other things, death doesnt bother me much for some reason

 

[PvtRyan]

Was I the only one that read 'what are the stages of the morning thingy.' (read: a morning erection when you wake up) ?

 

[herbster]

Well done for spotting that. or being the first person to admit it.
