But you may experience some or all stages in waves repeatedly. These stages are:  Denial and isolation: This stage involves denying the reality of the situation. It is a natural response to overwhelming pain caused by grief. Anger: This stage emerges once the denied pain starts to surface. Anger can be aimed at inanimate objects, strangers, family or friends. You may feel angry at the person who died or left, and then you may feel guilty for feeling angry. Bargaining: In this stage, you may feel like you need to regain control from feeling helpless. You might worry about how you should have been a better person, or you should have gotten help sooner, and so on. Depression: This stage brings sadness and regret that comes with the realization that the loved one is truly gone. You may feel overwhelming sadness, crying, and so on. Acceptance: This stage may be characterized by reaching a state of calm and withdrawal. Some people may never reach this stage of grief. The relationship has, in fact, died.
