Denial is difficulty accepting that a loss is real. People may refuse that the loss happened and do not want to accept it.

Anger

Anger is directing anger to multiple sources. This may be being angry towards your loved ones when experiencing a loss or even blaming problems on them as well.

Bargaining

Bargaining is imagining reaching an agreement so you do not have to deal with a loss. This can look like begging your mom that you will be a good kid forever if she buys you McDonalds.

Depression

Depression is experiencing the complex emotions associated with depression (sadness and emptiness). While experiencing depression, a person might shut everyone out and go through their sad emotions by themselves.

Acceptance

Acceptance is embracing the reality of loss even if the pain is still there. That doesn't mean that it is not there, but you are at peace with the situation.
