The Five Stages of Grief

I''ve been separated for 4 years, divorced for 1 and it''s striking me how much I''ve moved on. The 5 stages of grief didn''t actually roll out the way in the way you read but they did happen and I genuinely feel I am in the last stage although depression appears to rear its head now and again (I still takes the pills).

My family were banging their heads against the wall when I was in the first stage. I couldn''t believe that people weren''t telling the truth. Then there was anger, but against myself. I''m such a dope. The bargaining stage was financially damaging because I didn''t want to expose my ex''s duplicity, her secret savings, her other bloke who popped up only 2 months after I''d left. I ended up having to pay her for loss if lifestyle although she has more loot than me. Then depression. That''s a hard one to get out of. As I''ve said, I''m not quite of the woods yet. Finally, acceptance, I.e. the acceptance of my new life which is totally different to the old one but I''m okay, I can embrace it.

I''m not one for long posts but I had to get it out.

PS. I had decided to post this on my blog but ended up posting it here! Sorry.

So glad you are getting things sorted. Was starting to worry as your posts were a little dark and then you hadn''t posted for a while. Tracked down some of your blogs but glad to see you are sorting things out in your head. Our minds and thoughts are all that we are left with in the end. Stay strong, ready to move on to next stage. Summers just around the corner.
