Some people speak to psychologists, some people believe in the supernatural, some people just need to talk to someone. Generally, time heals everything, but sometimes, people need more than the instrument of time to heal. Each of us have our own way of overcoming grief. All we can do is slowly learn to heal ourselves. But life is inherently unfair, and death is inevitable. Some people blame God, and some people blame themselves, like Suri does. Many a time, we need to blame someone for the cause of grief, and it makes us question as to why only it had to happen to us. We try to avoid reality by imagining alternate scenarios, like Suri does where he imagines he could have stopped Karan from going to play, or he could have gone with him. Losing a loved one, especially one's own child, is devastating. I remember Jab Tak Hai Jaan released at the same time as Talaash, and though it was much derided, in some ways, it dealt with the bargaining aspect of grief. There is a little bit of these emotions in Suri, with depression being the most prevalent one in his case.
The stages are not a linear and predictable progression but only a collation of five common experiences for the bereaved that can occur in any order, if at all. Talaash is a spectacular story on the theory of grief. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross had famously postulated the five stages of grief-denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
