[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 510589, member: 84"] Well, I'm not so sure about the "shock" part of the stages. I'm not saying it's necessarily wrong, but if I felt it, it was rather brief. So maybe that stage just depends on the person. I'm well into connection with Nichole and Travis. Nichole is so easy child like these days........and while Travis will always be a difficult child, his is just who he is. Katie though, I'm stuck in detachment mode with acceptance. Actually I think perhaps someone finally actually figuring out there are stages and putting them to paper was a good idea. While in the midst of this gfgdom, you get to the point of it being overwhelming and losing hope. Just as in grief, if you're not careful, you can lose yourself in the process, which of course is not good. For many being able to identify "where they're at" helps them to cope with it better, it reminds them other people have been where they are and made it to the other side. Mr.sammler ((hugs)) it's good to see you. :) [/QUOTE]
