ACCEPTANCE:

One of the most frustrating stages of acceptance is the
bargaining stage. In denial, there is bliss. In anger, there
is some sense of power. In bargaining, we vacillate between
believing there is something we can do to change things

and realizing there isn't .

There are stories about attempts to bargain with the alcoholic's
drinking: "If I keep the house cleaner, he won't drink … If I
buy my son a new car, he'll stop using drugs."

We do big, small, and in-between things, sometimes crazy
things, to ward off, stop, or stall the pain involved with accepting
reality.

There is no substitute for accepting reality. That's our goal. But
along the way, we may try to strike a deal. Recognizing our
attempts at bargaining for what they are – part of the grief process
– helps our lives become manageable.
