1. SHOCK & DENIAL
You will probably react to learning of the problem with numbed disbelief. You may deny the reality of the problem at some level, in order to avoid the pain. Shock provides emotional protection from being overwhelmed all at once. This may last for minutes/hours.

2. PAIN & GUILT
As the shock wears off, it is replaced with the suffering of unbelievable pain. Although excruciating and almost unbearable, it is important that you experience the pain fully, and not hide it, avoid it or escape from it with alcohol or drugs. You may have guilty feelings or remorse over things you did or didn't do in development. Life feels chaotic and scary during this phase.

3. ANGER & BARGAINING
Frustration gives way to anger, and you may lash out and lay unwarranted blame for the problem on someone else. Please try to control this, as permanent damage to your relationships may result. This is a time for the release of bottled up emotion. You may rail against fate, questioning "Why me?" You may also try to bargain in vain with the powers that be for a way out such as a transfer to a different team or department.

4. "DEPRESSION", REFLECTION, LONELINESS
Just when your colleagues may think you should be getting on with your work, a long period of sad reflection will likely overtake you. This is a normal stage of development, so do not be "talked out of it" by well-meaning colleagues. Encouragement from others is not helpful to you during this stage of development. During this time, you finally realize the true magnitude of your problem, and it depresses you. You may isolate yourself on purpose, reflect on things you did in past development, and focus on memories of other, more simple, problems. You may sense feelings of emptiness or despair.

5. THE UPWARD TURN
As you start to adjust to life with the realities of the situation, your life becomes a little calmer and more organized. Your physical symptoms lessen, and your "depression" begins to lift slightly.

6. RECONSTRUCTION & WORKING THROUGH
As you become more functional, your mind starts working again, and you will find yourself seeking realistic solutions to the problem. You will start to work on practical approaches and start reconstructing yourself and your development cycle.

7. ACCEPTANCE & HOPE
During this, the last of the seven stages in this pipeline, you learn to accept and deal with the reality of your situation. Acceptance does not necessarily mean instant happiness. Given the pain and turmoil you have experienced, you can never return to the carefree, untroubled YOU that existed before this minor inconvenience. But you will find a way forward.
