The adjourning stage is marked by the disbandment of the group after the task has been completed, which can lead to feelings of loss. It can also be marked by positive emotions if the task has been successfully accomplished. Forming is the stage where the group comes together and familiarizes themselves, norming is the stage where conflicts are resolved, and performing is the stage where the group is focused on completing the task. None of these stages explicitly involve disbandment or loss.
