You might have heard of the five stages of grief. It’s a model devised by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. It doesn’t apply in all instances of loss and grief, but it’s a guide/ The first stages are:
- Denial
- Anger
- Bargaining
- Depression
- Acceptance
The Simpsons covered the 5 stages in the series 2 episode, “One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish”.
