1. Denial and Isolation. At first, we tend to deny
the loss has taken place, and may withdraw
from our friends, family, co-workers, and social
contacts. This stage may last anywhere from a
few minutes to months, depending on each
individuals grieving style.

2. Anger. After the reality sets in you might
become very angry, even furious with your ex.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned or a man
rejected .Most of us , too, will become angry
with ourselves for even letting the event take
place, right up to the point of blaming ourself for
the entire breakup. We inevitably go through the
"if I only's" and the "I should have or shouldn't
have done this or that's"...
