Libby, In crisis, there is not set stage 1, 2, 3 4, or 5. They bounce back and forth in many of the stages, especially replay/depression/withdrawal and yes, even some in acceptance. I would suggest that you go back and re-read the stages just to have a better understanding of what can occur, but do not look for your h to do exactly as HB's h did. Each person is very different in crisis.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
