Having been through grief counseling for the death of my first wife I can say that his process seems quite similar.

1. Denial and isolation; 2. Anger; 3. Bargaining; 4. Depression; 5. Acceptance. People who are grieving do not necessarily go through the stages in the same order or experience all of them.

Right now I'm not sure where I am. Going to get through the divorce first. File on Monday and it will hopefully be done in about 6 weeks.

Just keep processing your grief its a huge
Part of getting better and moving thru all
The emotions and feelings.

Let yourself cry and mourn your losses it is
A process, no matter how quick the divorce
Happens.

The rest will take as long as it Needs to. My
grief has been long and drawn out And i can
not seem to will it away. HUGS

Been through these stages, happy to be at Acceptance. I do revisit the others sometimes, but Acceptance is the place to be! You can finally get into action and do what depression and the other stages have prevented you from doing. Thanks 1daatatime for reminding us of these stages.

I have to admit I'm surprised at how quickly I have moved past the absolutely devastated stage. Despite that I live in the middle of nowhere with no friends I have promised myself not to make any major decisions for one year. I don't ever plan on remarrying, not much point when your already 66.

You might be at the numb and disbelief stage.

Theres plenty more to come. I had some major
Divorce rage that i needed to work thru. Never
Mind all the rest of the "stuff"

Sometimes i think death is simpler because they
Did not leave you on their own volition, in divorce
They left you willfully and with great intent. Two
Totally different things. HUGS

I'm way past acceptance and right in the middle of indifference.
The weekends can be hard so pre plan so you have a project to occupy those long weekends
