Psychological Angle

I'm not a psychologist, and all I had in college was an undergrad class. What I remember best was the section on Elisabeth Kubler Ross, who wrote On Death and Dying. In that book, she laid out a theory of grief, that people handle it by passing through several stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. Others have applied these stages to more general situations.

If I were to apply her stages to my situation (not to make it more serious than it really is) I would say I've skipped anger and bargaining, and am currently somewhere between depression and acceptance. Leaning more towards acceptance.
