There are 5 stages of grief - Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance.
Most people associate these stages with a physical death - a death of the body. The following story, however, explores a psychological death - a death of the sense of Self - that occurs during the transition from adolescence to adulthood.

Grief • Lando Norris ✔️
They say grief comes in six stages. First, it's the initial shock of losing someone you love. Next, it's denial of the fact that they are really, truly gone. This is followed by a wave of anger at not only yourself, but those around you. You can bargain all you want, but nothing can change the past. After all this, you fall into a grey area of depression. It's numb, and it's cold, and it feels like it'll drag on for an eternity... ...But it doesn't, as long as acceptance follows. • this story is going to be sad • possible trigger warning • loosely inspired by 'eleven minutes' by yungblud and halsey • written july '19 •Complete
Unspoken
Follow the journey of a 17 year-old girl navigating the waters of adulthood as she shares her experiences with love, loss, heartbreak, laughter, happiness, and struggle over the course of three years. The transition between high school to college is never easy, but it's a lot easier knowing that someone is going through the same thing as you. As the moral of this story goes, never judge a book by its cover. We never know what someone else is going through, and even though we don't like to admit it, a lot of us are the same deep down.Complete

"Whatever yah talk 'bout sound like a fairy tale and mi nuh want yuh feel like me is a problem fi yuh fix," I stated, staring into her eyes. She frowned, deeply. "You need to talk to someone, or me. I am here for you if you need anything." Her voice came out softer than usual. "Rosalia, left that. It nuh concern yuh," I told her. She hissed her teeth and slapped the blunt out of my hand. "Mi try talk to yuh, but if yuh nah go at least try to get help then mi nuh need fi deh here. Stay by yuhself since a that yuh fucking want." She turned and started walking away. // He was abandoned by his parents. Time and time again they let him down, not realizing that each time it was draining him.

In a short time, she made him indecisive and question himself. Peeled away every armor he had shielding his insecurities. She broke him but stood by him while he rebuilt himself into a better man.
