Depending on where you read there are 5 stages of Grieving. For some the grieving process moves from one to five. For others, it may be from stage one, then three then one then two. The grieving process is different for everyone and every loss. I know, I have lost two pregnancies and grieved both in the unique way they needed. It the same way we grieve other losses like parents, grandparent or friends. The one thing that stayed the same were the stages of grieving I went through. The five stages we will look at include Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance.
