^For anyone going through a breakup situation, these are the 7
   stages that everybody goes through. It's all perfectly normal,
   and nobody goes through it in exactly the same order. Sometimes
   all at the same time. Just know, you are not broken. You are
   normal. The process is normal. -Ken (source follows the list)

   Denial
   In the immediate time after a breakup, the griever may still
   think that she and her partner will mend the relationship. Even
   if the breakup was permanent, the griever may tell herself that
   she and her former partner could reunite if the former partner
   will change. According to recover-from-grief.com, this stage
   allows for emotional protection to keep the griever from
   experiencing overwhelming emotion. A person will move on from
   the denial phase when she accepts the finality of the
   relationship.

   Guilt
   After a relationship, the griever may blame himself for
   everything that went wrong. He may tell himself that if only he
   could have done certain things better, he and his former partner
   would still be together. Getting through this stage requires
   that the griever admit that the end of the relationship was
   caused by both partners. He must learn from his mistakes.

   Sadness
   This period of sadness always follows a breakup. The griever
   should spend the time experiencing the emotion rather than
   trying to hide from it. This stage fills the griever with
   insecurity and makes it hard to go about daily tasks. Supportive
   friends, exercise and counseling may help the griever move past
   this stage.

   Anger
   The griever may start to feel anger toward her previous partner.
   She might also feel irrationally angry toward others in her
   life. Healing comes when the griever allows herself to fully
   feel the anger, according to grief.com. Journaling and
   exercising may help the griever move past the anger.

   Upward Turn
   At one point during the grief process, the feelings become
   easier to manage. This shows that the grief has run its course.
   The griever learns to experience and live life without his
   former partner.

   Rebuilding
   The griever begins to build life without her former partner. She
   starts to think rationally again. A life forms apart from the
   relationship.

   Acceptance
   This means that the griever fully accepts the breakup and can
   move on with life. Dating becomes a reality again. The griever
   shows acceptance when he starts to look for a new relationship
   without giving much care to his old one.
