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.
