Stages of Grief

[Panama pfRedd]

Denial: A initial reaction to the loss, characterized by a sense of shock and disconnection from reality. This stage is often accompanied by feelings of sadness and emotional numbness.

Anger: A stage marked by intense emotions of frustration, resentment, and irritability. This anger may be directed towards oneself, others, or the situation.

Bargaining: A stage where individuals may attempt to regain control by making deals or promises to alter the outcome. This can manifest as over-thinking, worrying, comparing oneself to others, or predicting the future.

Depression: A stage characterized by feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and despair. This can be accompanied by changes in sleep and appetite patterns.

Acceptance: The final stage, where individuals come to terms with their loss and begin to rebuild their lives. This stage is marked by self-compassion, vulnerability, and the ability to tolerate emotions.

It’s essential to note that these stages are not necessarily linear or sequential, and individuals may oscillate between them or experience them simultaneously. Additionally, the Kübler-Ross model has been criticized for oversimplifying the complex and unique nature of grief experiences.

He did a write in for 2016, Biden in 2020, and a write in for 2024. He's a shirker X2.

Failed? Why would I post them? I’m disappointed in the outcome on many levels, but I’m not grieving.

I didn’t write in a candidate this time. I voted for Harris because, despite my rather tepid feelings on her as a candidate, I thought she was better for America.

The majority has disagreed. I’ll accept that result. It is my sincere hope that America prospers under Trump and that he respects and follows the rule of law and governs effectively. I have my doubts as to his capacity to do it, but, that’s how we roll in this country.

i was angry for like 3 minutes. depressed until i fell asleep. but woke up accepting the results.

i'm not in any grief today.

i am very disappointed. but hopefully the democratic party uses this moment to reflect and become more appealing to more voters.

IMO, by ' more appealing', you mean, "stop nominating women".
The 'Bro' vote put Trump over the top. Talking about big dicks, beating up people, and sexually assaulting women was an actual part of Trump's campaign in response to his female opponent; and it worked.

You have a remarkedly peculiar take on things.

It was fairly obvious at the end what he was doing.
I don't know how you could miss it.

LOL! Post 1 was sorely needed today.

It must really be amazing to think the way you do. I wonder why, in all your wisdom, you have not done more with your life, you know, things like curing cancer, stopping global warming, stopping Israel from invading Gaza. Little things like that, or do you just mimic people like Joy Reid and Van Jones. Pretty comical. One would think, with your amazing intelligence that you would be able to predict the exact score of every college football game and we could just crown you The Greatest Douche of All Time, before every season even started.

If you want to take a crack at explaining why Arnold Palmer's dick became a campaign theme, I'm keen to hear it. If you can explain why bragging about grabbing women by the pussy isn't disqualifying in a candidate, please explain it. If you can explain why beating up political opponents is considered a legitimate political tactic, go for it. In short, all the things 15 year old boys think about, Trump has talked about at one time or the other, and it appears to have met with approval by the 'bros'.

I gotta ask. Given there was a 10% gender gap, by your logic, are you suggesting the 44%, the % women voters who voted for Trump, like being grabbed by the pussy? Or agreed it was OK? I'll disagree. IAC, JBJ was proud of Jumbo. Claimed that size matters. Once claimed it got him votes in TX, w women.
