Stages of Grief
Today, I’m on my soapbox.
There are five stages of grief, right? Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and then acceptance. But this stage model from Elizabeth Kubler-Ross applied to people who are dying not those left behind. She studied anticipatory grief and that’s it. I can’t find any empirical evidence that says these stages exist let alone that you go through them in any particular order. Grief is a journey not a destination and you can’t predict the path. Walk the journey with God and the people who love you.
