5 Stages of Grief

1-Denial-"this can't be happening to me", looking for the former spouse in familiar places, or if it is death, setting the table for the person or acting as if they are still in living there. No crying. Not accepting or even acknowledging the loss.

2-Anger-"why me?", feelings of wanting to fight back or get even with spouse of divorce, for death, anger at the deceased, blaming them for leaving.

3-Bargaining-bargaining often takes place before the loss. Attempting to make deals with the spouse who is leaving, or attempting to make deals with God to stop or change the loss. Begging, wishing, praying for them to come back.

4-Depression-overwhelming feelings of hopelessness, frustration, bitterness, self pity, mourning loss of person as well as the hopes, dreams and plans for the future. Feeling lack of control, feeling numb. Perhaps feeling suicidal.

5-Acceptance-there is a difference between resignation and acceptance. You have to accept the loss, not just try to bear it quietly. Realization that it takes two to make or break a marriage. Realization that the person is gone (in death) that it is not their fault, they didn't leave you on purpose. (even in cases of suicide, often the deceased person, was not in their right frame of mind) Finding the good that can come out of the pain of loss, finding comfort and healing. Our goals turn toward personal growth. Stay with fond memories of person.

Everything ok dude? I guess there is something here that I missed and I'm concerned something bad (beyond Football...Go Pats) has gone down.

Stay safe and thank you for your service!

Sack, I know exactly what you mean. This sucks! I know this is harder for a lot of others than myself. I've still got my family (except Brent obviously) with me and you and yours will have to wait a little longer. I've always said it's harder on families with little kids than it is for parents or for families with older children. Not taking anything away from how others feel. That's just my personal opinion. We ALL want everyone home Soon and Safely.

Hang in there. All of you. You know how to vent that grief so do what you need to do, even if it means crying. I know I did.

What a heartbreaker. For whatever it's worth, I appreciate the enormity of the sacrifice you're making. You, Erika and Benjamin continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear this! Realized as soon as I saw the news it meant 'you guys', and all I can say is the prayers are continuing...for all of you AND for all the families.
And I just want to add my voice to the 'this sucks' chorus. I have seen extentions now with 3 different units that had friends of ours involved, PRIOR to this bad news coming for you guys.
You all and your families are being asked to give so much above and beyond!!
