Cycle of Acceptance

 

Anger Stage

 

The next step after denial is a sudden swing into anger, which often occurs in an explosion of emotion, where the feelings of the previous stages are exploded into a flood of grief. Whoever is in the way is likely to be blamed. The phrase 'Why me?' may be repeated in an endless loop in their heads. A part of this anger thus is 'Why not you?', which fuels their anger at the those who are not affected, or perhaps not as seriously so.
