- Denial: trying to believe that it didn't really happen
- Anger: sometimes bad things seem to happen for no reason
- Bargaining: trying to pretend that if you could do something differently, the loss might be reversed; feeling guiltythe event might not have happened if you had done something differently
- Depression: Feeling extraordinarily bad when you finally realize there is nothing you can do to change the situation
- Acceptance: Finally coming to grips with the loss

If forgiveness is so good, why do people resist doing it? 1 point for any of the following:
