"Nobody is immune from anger. It's how we deal with it that's important. I have come to consider my anger over last fall's events as part of a natural grieving process. You may remember from Psych101 that there are various stages of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance - that people often go through when dealing with situations that cause a significant sense of loss. My mom went through the stages when I transitioned and I'm still slowly working through them one by one. I'm relieved to share with anyone who cares that I'm finally looking forward more than I'm looking back."
