What are the stages of break up?

Answer 1

Break-ups are losses. When there's a loss, we grieve. The five stages of loss are as follows : Denial, Anger, Depression. Blame, Acceptance. We can move through various stages and keep going back to one or two or more all at once, it depends on how we are wired. The key to over-coming grief (according to Kubler- Ross in psychiatry), is to accept but the other stages, need full completeness until this happens.

Shock and Denial

Shock is the initial reaction to loss. Shock is the person's emotional protection from being too suddenly overwhelmed by the loss. The person may not yet be willing or able to believe what his mind knows to be true. This stage normally lasts 2 - 3 months. Intense Concern

Intense concern is often shown by not being able to think of anything else. Even during daily tasks, thoughts of the loss keep coming to mind. Conversations with one at this stage always turn to the loss as well. This period may last 6 months to 1 year. Despair and Depression

Despair and depression is a long period of grief and the most painful and protracted stage for the griever. But during which the person gradually comes to terms with the reality of the loss. The process typically involves a wide range of feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Many behaviors may be irrational. Depression can include feelings of anger, guilt, sadness, and anxiety. Recovery and acceptance

The goal of grieving is not the elimination of all the pain or the memories of the loss. In this stage, one shows a new interest in daily activities and begins to function normally on a day to day basis. The goal is to reorganize one's life so that the loss is one important part of life rather than the center of one's life.

Answer 2

well they dont reallly dont put it in stages.but if you want me to put them in stages i can... 1st stage is problems in your relationship. 2nd stage would be he/she says he/she wants to move on. 3rd <usually for a girl> its usually crying or going into depression. 4th is knowing that it will get better because it will. 5th and final step is moving on. but its completely ok if you dont move on. maybe not moving on is ok because maybe that person made a dumb decision and still like/loves you... but just know alot of things may surprise you
