How Can Grief In A Relationship Affect A Person?

A friend of mine recently partly lost a very important relationship - not the person but the way of relating due to that person s new marriage. It has been a business partnership but also closeness as with friends. What are the states of grief a person like this would likely go through, just to understand that it s OK to grieve and what to expect.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
in my opinion stages of grief denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are the stages


initially denial is complete non acceptance

anger that only they have to suffer

bargaining for alternative solution

then being sad on the situation

and finally learning to accept

these can last for few weeks to few months.
