Psychology help

[Whisper]

Can anyone help me find an internet site, whcih defines loss, and the four stages of loss.

I have searched through all my books, and my usual sites, and I am just about ready to rip my hair out.

If any one could help I would be really grateful.

If my memory is functioning properly bargaining & depression are the other 2.

The answers that were accepted for the four stages of loss were

Worden 1991,

1. accept the reality of loss,

2.work through the pain of grief

3.adjust to an environment in which the deceased is missing

4.emotionally relocate the deceased and moveon with life.

or
