That last part "acceptance" I'm not so sure how that helps anything. I mean are we accepting the trauma and becoming one with the pain etc? I don't think acceptance of evil done to us is good at all. Maybe acceptance of ourselves or recovered selves after the scars no longer phantom the original pain, maybe accepting our frailty as a human being...I can see that. But acceptance of the perpatrators? No I don't think so.

I was also told by my grief counsellor that those 5 stages are fluid -- they don't have specific beginnings or ends. So you can fluctuate back and forth within a couple before you're done with them.
This is why, 3 years after my parents have died, that occasionally the oddest things will trigger me and I'll flip into a stage I thought was done. -
