Can you get stuck in a stage of grief?
I'm familiar with the five stages of grief. I do believe that everyone processes grief in different ways, and I also believe that there are probably some common ways that everyone processes their grief. I'm not here today to argue about whether the five stages are real or not.
My question centers on something I've been wondering about for a few weeks now. Is it possible to get stuck in a stage? Do you think that somewhere on the road between denial and acceptance the mind can take a detour, and never get back on track? I ask, because I feel this anger that I normally don't feel. It baffles me. I've never really been an angry person before. I look in the mirror and wonder where it's coming from. It's not like me to feel this way.
Is it all in my head? Am I over-analyzing myself? At what point will I snap out of it?
