This simple formula for grief seemed to make sense to me.
D = Denial.
A= Anger.
G= Guilt.
A= Acceptance ( That our loved one is not coming back.
During our anger stage we can upset our relatives, friends and relationships. We act irrationally. It's an emotional cathartic release. For those who can get their head around it or understand all is forgiven. Even more so when we sincerely apologise. I've had a few bad experiences of anger which I bitterly regret. It's a great shame that another well known charity website dealing with bereavement, who should have known better, didn't understand this process. As such the moderators closed my account. Presumably for ever despite an explanation of my mental health at the time. SO IM PROUD to remain a member of our great MACMILLAN site. BLESS THEM
A charity that helped my dear departed wife Anne through her fight with pancreatic cancer.
