Try: Realize that denial will buy enough time to adjust to the shock of the situation and that fleeing into denial occurs because the reality of the situation is just too hard to accept don’t let denial extend beyond a reasonable time period for adjustment face the fears that cause the denial and accept the reality in order to move forward these fears are legitimate but need to be acknowledged and discussed to move past the denial stage don’t waste time being angry resentful or frustrated denying the reality of the situation will most often make it worse change your perspective – focus on the here and now and don’t dwell on the outcome
