Hope these do not go in order...I think I was in denial first, then bargaining, then denial again, then depression, still in denial...maybe finally getting to acceptance!!!
I have heard they don't. But have you gone through anger, CW? I finally went through it during the 13th-14th months! WHy did it take so long? But I have also heard that not everyone goes through all of these stages because we do grieve differently. All I know is that anger really helped lead me to acceptance.
