The five stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. These stages are part of a framework that helps people learn to live with loss, but they are not a linear timeline and not everyone experiences them in the same order or at all.
These stages are a series of emotional responses that many people experience when dealing with loss or significant life changes. It's important to note that not everyone goes through all the stages.
