After time, denial
anger and bargaining will give way to a depression.
In this phase the sense of emotional loss is amplified and may seem unbearable.
In this phase, the feelings of low self-esteem and hopelessness are common.
But these will finally give way, eventually, to the final phase of acceptance...
...an understanding that what has been lost can never return,
and that life can continue although it may be very different.
And a journey is complete.
Quick, emotionless sex.
