Five Stages of Grief. . .

Grief is very confusing to many of us. A very misunderstood emotion. Sooner or later, we all go through it. Somehow we will have loss in our lives. Death, divorce, the fall of the greatest republic the world has ever known.


There are five stages of grief and if we can't make it through them all to the end, we are doomed. No healing, no good feelings, no sunshine. So here ya go.

The five stages of grief are:

1-Denial-"this can't be happening to me", expecting the old familiar Republic to be there right where you left it. Acting as if you can still exercise your God given rights. No crying, accepting or even acknowledging the loss.

2-Anger-"why me?", How could this happen? feelings of wanting to fight back. Writing, demonstrating etc. Heavy on the etc.

3-Bargaining-bargaining often takes place before the loss. Begging, wishing, hoping, praying for. . . well for the love of GOD, the familiar country you knew and loved, to come back. Attempting to make deals with God to stop or change the unbelievable loss.

4-Depression-overwhelming feelings of hopelessness, frustration, bitterness, self pity, utter and complete aloneness, mourning loss of a republic as well as the hopes, dreams and plans for the future dashed before your very eyes. Feeling a complete and total lack of control, feeling numb, disoriented, disenfranchised.

5-Acceptance-there is a difference between resignation and acceptance. You have to accept the loss, not just try to bear it quietly. Realization that the republic is gone. Make plans anew. Get help. You will survive. You will heal, even if you cannot believe that now, just know that it is true. To feel pain after loss is normal. It proves that we are alive, hope of one day being healed and finding happiness again. Something to look forward to.

That or get more ammo and guns. While your at it, Bitterly cling to your Bible or use the Force!
