 My Review

 

 I was expecting something different..maybe inspiring, about forging your own path and not relying on relationships to bring you joy. It could have been that. Or it could have been funny. It could have been romantic. It could have been smart. It could have been fun. It could have been educational. Unfortunately it was full of clichés and stereotype. Some of the story was offensive.The Chinese girl who laughs and laughs? The Indians who "bobble" their heads? The strong Nordic women? i really feels insulted when they talking about Muslim. As if we as a Muslim, think education is not important..i don't know how she could write something like that.

Overall⭐⭐⭐ over ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

7 stages of grief ⎸ Fall in love with someone is the best feelings ever but to deal with the grief losing someone that you love is never been easy. Same goes with the death of a loved one, job loss,losing a close friend, all these can leave you brokenhearted which make you feel the world will never be the same again. There are 7 stages of grief based on modified Kubler Ross model. Honestly, i have been go through all these phases. Its hard, you will think that you will die if you live without the loved one, but hey! look at you now, still alive and shit! I won't say that it would be easy but what I'm trying to say is i will always be here to support you..we're together fighting all this shit okay pretty😃

1.SHOCK

Initial paralysis at hearing the bad news.  Of course you will be shock, it's still new to you..you will feels like wanna throw up,dizzy, all the information can't be processes. The feelings of betrayed that you can't accept it. feels like your heart being crushes again and again. The more you love that person, more pain you will feel.

A long period of sadness may overtake you. You may realize the true magnitude of your loss and it will sadden you. you may isolate on purpose, reflect on things you did with your loss one and focus on memories of the past.
