Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

There are 5 accepted stages of grief: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. It sounds like Brenda is in Stage 4, Depression. Brenda needs help in dealing with this depression to get to stage 5, Acceptance. Several organizations are available to help Brenda to get over the loss of her husband, including Grief.com. A better option might be for Brenda to contact her local hospital. Hospitals often offer a verity of classes and support groups for people in this type of situation.
