Grief and periods of mourning in the Stages is not one-dimensional: It manifests as a jumble of intense emotions. Dealing with grief is not a linear progression, but a whole process with chaotic twists and turns. How these "stages" relate to each other has very little to do with logical thinking. Actually, the emotional logic of grief, so to speak, is in the jumble of emotions.
The emotional logic of grief at the stages is better understood if you think of it as a series of frantic moves to re-orient to the world after a big loss has left you emotionally off-balance.The acknowledgement of the child within can lead to periods of intense grief.We grieve our lost childhood, we grieve our parents or significant others.We grieve our lost child within.We acknowledge our rage, pain and disillusion and have to grieve them.We experience with support our full range of grief emotions and we once more survive.
