There are several different descriptions of the grieving process. More recently, the Kübler-Ross model has been challenged, but I have found that it works pretty well if it is applied loosely. Instead of thinking in terms of distinct stages that one passes forward through in one direction, it might help to recognize that one can experience several "stages" at once, and also hop forward and backwards between these stages as different feelings emerge.

The loss of a parent can be a hugely disorienting event - not to mention sad, angering, and depressing. It can be a confusing time during which the biological meets the psychological, and makes it difficult to differentiate between the two. I hope your new treatment helps. What changes are being made? Are you already on Effexor? If so, what dosage are you taking? Some people do not respond well to it until they reach a dosage of 300 mg/day.
Good luck.
