It is something that is hard to explain because it is different for every single person. It is not something that I wish people would go through, but I think it does change people. It is so hard during, but I think people come out stronger and different. The five stages of grief are denial, anger, depression, and…
In my work, I will thoroughly describe Elisabeth Kubler- Ross’s theory that deals with the five stages of grief which includes denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

Grief gets a fantastical makeover in Johanneke Dihkstra and Menno Boersma's otherworldly Ritus. Remember my last review? The one covering Le Temps des Adieux. It was a French coming of age film about grief. No? Oh ... okay then. Well, for the many of you who did not read it, I had mentioned that while death has varying interpretations (I'm quoting myself here), grief is a universal emotion that we all experience with death, but, even with it being universal, people grieve in their own way.…

I recall looking back through the red pews…
