The second stage is anger. By this stage the person has moved on from denial and is now angry that such a thing has happened. Their demeanor when involving something that remind them of their grief, will be that of anger and hostility.  

The third stage is bargaining. Sometimes this is marked with wanting to take something back or blaming themselves and thinking about what they could have done to prevent such things that caused grief.
