[QUOTE="GraceK, post: 328782, member: 47233"] [url=http://www.recover-from-grief.com/7-stages-of-grief.html]http://www.recover-from-grief.com/7-sta ... grief.html[/url] Here is a link explaining the 7 stages of grief that most people go through when faced with a trauma of any kind. That could be bereavement, loss of a job, or diagnosis of an illness ... the stages are all the same from initial [b]denial[/b] to [b]acceptance[/b]. People are different. They take various lengths of time to take certain things in and to process them. The whole 7 stages of grief can take days, weeks or years in some people, and they can also slip in and out of each stage and back and forwards, depending on how much their nervous system can handle. Some people actually do become numb from shock and there's a reason for that. The numbness occurs because the bad news (shock) whatever it was has an effect on the nervous system, and in some people if that message is relayed to the brain too quickly, they can actually suffer neurological damage and even stroke. It's not a matter of needing to be [b]mollycoddled[/b] or of [b]needing to be pandered to[/b] it's just a matter of being the way some people's sympathetic and central nervous systems operate.
