I learned that, with grief, you have to take it one day at a time and learn how to find the happiness amid the heartbreak.

– Adrienne C. Moore

The five stages – denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance –  are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost. They are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling. But they are not stops on some linear timeline in grief. – Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
