I’m pretty sure Denial is the second stage. I remember it being emphasized in our last review session.

I’m a bit confused. I thought Integration was part of the later stages, but I can't recall the exact order.

I'm a bit unsure about the order of the stages, but I think denial comes after the initial shock. Let me re-read the question to make sure.

Denial, that's it! I remember learning about the Kubler-Ross change curve in class. Glad I could recall that.

Okay, the Kubler-Ross model - I know the first stage is shock, so the second must be denial. I've got this!

Is 'Give up and go home' an option? Because that's what I'm feeling right about now.

Hmm, this is a tough one. I'm gonna go with my gut and say A) Shock. You can't have denial without first being in shock, right?
