Grief

"Grief may be a thing we all have in common, but it looks different on everyone. It isn’t just death we have to grieve. It’s life. It’s loss. It’s change. Grief comes in its own time for everyone, in its own way. So the best we can do, the best anyone can do, is try for honesty. The really crappy thing, the very worst part of grief is that you can’t control it. The best we can do is try to let ourselves feel it when it comes and let it go when we can. The very worst part is that the minute you think you’re past it, it starts all over again. And always, every time, it takes your breath away. There are five stages of grief. They look different on all of us, but there are always five. Denial. Anger. Bargaining. Depression. Acceptance."

It just dawned on me that the reason I didn't continue watching Grey's Anatomy for 2 weeks after 2 episodes of season 6 was because I was coping with the grief from George's death. Felt so miserable and down because he's dead in the drama. This is only a fictional character but what if its for real?
