RECUERDO

Denial A temporary shock absorber, often expressed as "This isn't happening to me".

Anger  Frustration and rage directed towards the situation, asking "Why me?" or "Who's to blame?".

Bargaining  Making deals with a higher power, hoping to reverse or delay the loss, like "If only I had... I would... ".

Depression Overwhelming sadness, feeling the reality of the loss, leading to withdrawal and helplessness.

Acceptance Coming to terms with the new reality, not necessarily meaning happiness, but finding a way to live with the loss.
