Selenium Getting Stale exception when navigating to next page using loop

After listing all countries and language, I want to navigate to next page. Below are the code that I am using for the same. With this code I get the first country data and after this i am getting Stale exception. 

    int indexGroupRow = 0;  
    for (WebElement rowElement:listRows) 
    {
      if (rowElement.getAttribute("class").contains("dxgvGroupRow") 
          && rowElement.getAttribute("id").contains("Content_gvCountries_DXGroupRowExp"+indexGroupRow))
      {
           String t = rowElement.getText();
           System.out.println("Country: "+t);
      }
      if (rowElement.getAttribute("class").contains("dxgvDataRow") 
          && rowElement.getAttribute("id").contains("Content_gvCountries_DXDataRow"+indexGroupRow))
      {
           String t1 = rowElement.getText();
           System.out.println("Available Language: " + t1);
           List<WebElement> linkElement = rowElement.findElements(By.xpath("td[position()>1]"));
           for (WebElement er: linkElement)
           {
               er.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='Content_gvCountries_cell" 
                   + indexGroupRow 
                   + "_2_lnkSelectCountry_" 
                   + indexGroupRow + "']")).click();
           }
      }
      indexGroupRow++;
   }

for (WebElement er: linkElement)
       {
           er.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='Content_gvCountries_cell" + indexGroupRow + "_2_lnkSelectCountry_" + indexGroupRow + "']")).click();
       }

After first click you lose another links, so driver can't click on second element from linkElement list(because it belongs to previous page). You need to find link to next page after each click
