This is the 1st stage of grief. This is when people deny the event that caused them grief to avoid sadness or pending mental struggles. There is no set time frame to denial and it may not even happen.

Anger

This is the 2nd stage of grief. This is when the person who is grieving becomes upset with the person who put them in their state. Ie: If they lost a loved one they might be mad at the loved one for dying or themselves for not doing something.

Bargaining

This is the 3rd stage of grief. This is when the grieving person reaches out to anyone making a deal or promise, trying to do anything to get rid of the pain. This stage is a sign that the grieving person is beginning to comprehend their situation.

Depression

This is the 4th stage of grief. This appears when a sense of finality has been reached. The depression is episodic, not clinical which would be chronic depression. Even though it is episodic it may last for a long time.

Acceptance

The last and final stage is acceptance. This is when the grieving person starts looking forward in their life. They still feel complex feelings, but they are looking forward. It is also the 1st part of the healing process.
