The text describes this phase as the person entering a sense of peace, acceptance of death, and painlessness followed by a desire to be left alone.
The online source states that this phase is a period of calm but not to be confused with happiness. it says to surround oneslef with the comfort of loves ones

In the text this stage is described as a period of acceptance of death and the need to be left alone to detach from loved ones and grieve.
The online source states that there are actually two types of depression the first feeling sadness and regret for the things we did not do and the second is more of a preperation for loss and to bid farewells. this source says that reasurance and kind words should be given wheras the text says not to bother the person in this stage.

The text describes this stage as the hope that the person can post pone or delay death. The online source describes this stage as a period of defeat and hopelessness where the person tries to bargain for more time or ask "what if" questions and pleading for the loss not to happen.

In the second stage though the person now accepts what has happened they cannot emotionally handle it and that pain is illogically projected as anger and blame on others who they rationally know is not their fault but need to express their feelings onto someone.

Both the online source and the text describe this 1st stage of grief as a temporary defense mechanism of handling the shock of losing a loved one. At first they cannot believe that it is happening and cannot accept the loss. Though the text only talks of death the online source states that this can also occur for those dealing with the loss of a relationship or even a job.

From this source I found it most interesting that grief and loss can also come from positive changes such as getting married or graduating from community college and moving on to a university. It makes a lot of sense because you do lose aspects and people in your life whenever you move on to better yourself. I know when I got married I was very sad that I had lost touch with most of my friends from high school. And I know whenever I leave GMC I'm going to miss it and all my professors dearly (yes I'm talking about you Dr. Ward :P)

Though I already knew much of the rest that the source talked about it did further validate some things about grief that I've believed such as grieving for things other then death such as divorce or losing a job. What stuck out to me the most was the section on how to best heal from loss when they say " In order to get past the difficult feelings, you must experience them" because that's so true.
