It is true what they say, first you feel denial, then Anger, Bargaining, Depression and finally Acceptance... this is the stages you go through after losing someone dear to you...


The five stages of grief

This can't be happening
You can't be gone
I don't know what I was expecting
I bet you'll be back at dawn
Denial...

Why you?
I hate everyone, I hate myself
But only I knew
I hate God for making you absent youreself
Anger...

If it only had been me
The world would be better of
And how much happier everyone would be
And I would not have lost a person I love
Bargaining...

Tears in my eyes, tears in my face
As I realise that you've left this place
Once again I wonder why?
Tears never stop, and forever I'll cry
Depression...

You are gone and you're not coming back
I now know that it is a fact
But I will forever be the person, you wanted me to be
And I will always remember thee
Acceptance...

This one was really heartbreaking... and so true...
But let me tell you...
I think that the person you loved, did become the most beautiful angel of them all... This text was really good and came right from the heart...

Hugs to you my friend

Beautiful Peter darling!
Yeah, we do go through all these stages!
Thanks for putting the together under one heading!
But, and yes there is a 'but'; If it was so easy to compartmentalize feelings, dejection or rejection, life would be easier!
In life you are stuck in one stage or the other forever, and God forbid, if it happens to be depression?
((((Hugs Peter for very inspiring write)))
Love, xxx, Zoya

I know these 5 stages...they are indeed difficult, each one in its own way....grief never comes easy...it is a painful process and there is no easy way around it....

So true...
To lose someone dear is hard work... Until you finally arrive at the point of Acceptance.
I think you've put it all together very good. I know how it feels... Thank you!

This is not bad by itself. For me though, it seems like you could really take this theme and twist it up. Really let the reader feel like they are going through this themselves. I understand what you are attempting, it's good but it seems like it could be better. What I offer up is only a suggestion or two. Others might really enjoy this as it is.
