> It's been about 3 1/2 years since I made my gut wrenching breakthrough in therapy. It became apparent to me at the age of 30 that I had never grieved over my father's passing at the age of 7. I had alot of hope when I came through that experience. The great secret that my mind wouldn't let me in on was finally out in the open. I hoped that my healing would begin and progress rapidly... Well, this isn't what exactly happened. My pain got 10 times worse, and to this day I still feel the grief and pain of an event that happened over 25 years ago.

> I guess my questions for babblers are: Has anyone experienced a no doubt about it breakthrough? What happened next? Did your spirit become free and your depression lifted? Did things get worse like they did for me? And finally, what happened to your outlook on life? I have always had hope that I could take on this demon, but it's become more than anything I could have bargained for.

'STAGES OF BEREAVEMENT'
The first is shock- a feeling of numbness & unreality. This is followed by stages of protest & yearning, in which bereaved persons resent the loss of their loved one & fantasize about the loved one's return. These reactions are often followed by deep despair, which can last a year or more-a period when bereaved persons feel that life is not worth livivg. Finally, bereaved persons usually enter a state of detachment & recovery, in which they separate themselves psychologically from the loved person who has died & go on w/ their lives. Even during this stages, however,painful bouts of grieving may recur on Birthdays,anniversaries,& other occasions that remind the bereaved person of his loss.
