48 | Stages of Grief Series Part 4: Bargaining

Have you ever done something wrong, or maybe not lived up to an expectation, and then tried to make it up to the person you wronged?

Maybe you said you’d get home at certain time and were late, so you told your spouse you would make it up to them somehow. 

Perhaps you missed out on hanging out with your child so promised them ice cream or a treat to make up for it. 

In each situation, you’re bargaining in an effort to keep the peace. 

While these actions are fairly trivial in comparison to what we’re talking about, they are still examples of what we do when we know we've done wrong. 

When it comes to our abortion decision, it’s common for us to feel like we need to pay a penance for what we've done. While this is just a small part of what the stage of bargaining looks like, it's important that we talk about it and move on from it. 

We pray that this episode helps you as you move through this stage in your grief.
