Reply #51: Grief Process Diagnosis: [View All]

You are currently in:

Stage 3: Bargaining.

Prognosis is generally favorable for the patient, as patient has progressed midway through the Grief Process. Patient has realized that his/her candidate won't beat Madame Inevitable, and has clearly progressed beyond simple Denial or Anger as evidenced by the serious mental effort expended in search of a likely and electable "savior" (viz., Biden) and by demonstration of sincere willingness to switch candidates (if only everyone else will.) Patient has a likely chance of reaching Acceptance on or around Super-Duper-Hyper-Spectacular Tuesday (February 5th.) Caution is needed, however, as Stage 4: Depression may descend at any moment; to prepare, patient should avoid all alcohol and recreational drugs (or at least cut back a little.)
