ANGER:



Feeling angry – and, sometimes, the act of blaming – is a
natural and necessary part of accepting loss and change
– of grieving.

As we come to terms with loss and change, we may
blame ourselves, our Higher Power, or others. The
person may be connected to the loss, or he or she may
be an innocent bystander. We've learned that blame
doesn't help. In recovery, the watchwords are
self-responsibility and personal accountability, not blame.
Ultimately, surrender and self-responsibility are the only
concepts that can move us forward, but to get there we
may need to allow ourselves to feel angry and to
occasionally indulge in some blaming.

It is helpful, in dealing with others, to remember that they,
too, may need to go through their angry stage to achieve
acceptance. To not allow others, or ourselves, to go
through anger and blame may slow down the grief process.

We won't stay angry forever. But we may need to get
mad for a while as we search over what could have been,
to finally accept what is.
