Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

In 1969, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross released her book On Death and Dying (1). She interviewed many terminally ill patients and through her observations she developed the Kubler-Ross model which recognized five stages of grieving. Through the years, she and other therapists have accepted and added additional steps. They developed the Seven Stages of Grieving. These stages include shock and disbelief, denial, anger, bargaining, guilt, depression and acceptance.

The first stage of the Seven Stages of Grieving is shock and disbelief. This is when the griever is first…

The feelings that people have toward death can even be all three of those emotions, and they sometimes overlap. Elisabeth…
