Been there!

Homer embraces Marge.

Well, if there's one consolation, it's that you will feel no pain at all
until some time tomorrow evening, when your heart suddenly explodes.
-- Dr. Hibbert explains the consequences of eating tainted fugu,
``One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish''

Dr. H: Now, a little death anxiety is normal. You can expect to go through
five stages. The first is denial.
Homer: No way! Because I'm not dying! [hugs Marge]
Dr. H: The second is anger.
Homer: Why you little! [steps towards Dr. H]
Dr. H: After that comes fear.
Homer: What's after fear? What's after fear? [cringes]
Dr. H: Bargaining.
Homer: Doc, you gotta get me out of this! I'll make it worth your while!
Dr. H: Finally, acceptance.
Homer: Well, we all gotta go sometime.
Dr. H: Mr. Simpson, your progress astounds me.
-- Homer learns he's going to die, ``One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish''


Haven't tried fugu yet but have been through the five stages above!

i am at stage 4 at the moment: bargaining. And i can't wait for 5 to come. These stages are the same for every loss, not just death, and we all go through them.
