The five stages of grief as described by the Kübler-Ross model:
1) Denial, 2) Anger, 3) Bargaining, 4) Depression, 5) Acceptance
Although experiencing any personal loss is a tragedy in and of itself, isn’t it a blessing to reach #5 after a long and windy road? With loss comes gain, a strange formula that the heavens deem fit. Counting my blessings…
And yet, even with number five, I find there’s a lingering sadness that can bring me to tears in certain situations. Particularly witnessing mother-daughter scenes, whether they’re in the movies or real life (especially the scenes I missed/know I won’t have).
