Dear dyxe0ri Author IconMail Icon ~~

I liked this elaborate offering called "Grief," described as poem, but is so much more. In fact, this could be turned into an essay or opinion piece. For me this works on so many levels with a notion to add a sixth step in the grieving process.

Recognition seems apt and wasn't sure if you were suggesting it as the fifth or last stage. Either way, it makes me think why we stop at acceptance. Did we finally get tired of being depressed and just chose to give in? I guess it depends how it finalizes.

With recognition, I find something that speaks to me. That to resolve in this process, one must actually know what causes them grief and to confront it. Although, I think that does occur when one is in therapy? You mention delusion as a problem, and perhaps suggesting, we mask our feelings...and thus, we don't get over stuff fully.

I wonder what gets a person to a stage where they can figure out why they go through this cyclical process. I'm assuming psychologists came up with this formula with the stages, because they have studied and recognized this is a common response people have to a problem and how it gets to the acceptance conclusion. Otherwise, it's to know how humans function and to help them get to that end, so they can feel they've done all the work that they can finally accept.

You shed new light for me that there might be more to this grief process, noting your acrostics and well argued position. I wonder if there is a forum where your notion could be heard, debated by experts. I would want to know if it could help people realize and recognize, otherwise risk going through this process with each occurrence. I assume therapy might be part of the process, to get it all out. But, therapists don't give you answers. They lead that horse to water so it will drink knowledge.

Well, thanks for this. I have something new to consider now.

Sincerely,

Brian
