On the Rebound
It has been almost two weeks since my fifteen month relationship ended and although I felt at first that I was getting through it just fine, I’ve been noticing that I’m not okay… and that the five stages of grief (shock, denial, anger sadness and acceptance) would not apply in this case…. I was wrong.
I think the shock of it all is just wearing off… I know when I left Boston Pizza that Thursday night I wanted to talk to her like I used too before we ever started dating, but I just couldn’t… there was still too much emotion there…
Does this mean I’m going to head into the other stages soon… not if I can help it… maybe I can just bypass the rest and go straight to acceptance… but I doubt it.
