Stages of Grief

It has come to my attention recently, that I have traveled through the stages of grief...grief over losing the relationship I thought I would have for the rest of my life. I have a little bit different take on it than Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, so here are my phases:

1) Shock - at the initial news

2) Denial - for the next 20 years ("He doesn't have MS...)

3) Depression - when I realized things were not going to get better

4) Anger - still coming out of that phase

5) Acceptance - getting into this phase now, with my Lenten journey, and looking for peace.
