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.
