In the bargaining stage the person may turn to GOD to put their marriage together and they will follow him. The fourth stage that is used in a divorce is depression. When it has sunk in that the divorce will be inevitable you can become depressed and do not care what is going on with your life at the moment. And the final stage is acceptance. Even though you are divorced and feeling pain you will try to move on with your life. You may hang out with family or do something that you wanted to do but could not. .
