Denial: Is not only an attempt to pretend that the loss does not exist. We are also trying to absorb and understand what is happening. Isaiah 6:1-3

Anger: Unfortunately, anger tends to be the first thing we feel when we start to release emotions related to loss. Ephesians.4:26-27

Bargaining: When our imaginations calm down and we slowly start to look at the reality of our present situation. John 11:25-26

Depression: Sadness; Gloom; Dejection. Roman 4:16-18,

1 Thessalonians 4:15-17

Acceptance: Sadness and regret can still be present in this phase, but the emotional survival tactics of denial, bargaining, and anger are less likely to be present. 2Corinthains 5:1-9
