The Five Stages of Healing

The Five Stages of Healing is a collection of poems about the process of dealing with depression, finding hope, and falling in love.

The five stages are anger, sadness, fear, hope, and love. Each poem was selected by the poet to reflect those emotions and the process of healing. The stages are listed in the order the poet went through to heal. Anger turned into sadness turned into fear turned into hope, and ultimately she found love.

This collection is also meant to support those dealing with mental illness. You are not alone. The poet hopes these poems help someone find hope in the darkness.

"I've stumbled through the dark

And I've made my own light."
