| The five stages of grief model (or the Kübler-Ross model) states that those experiencing grief go through a series of five emotions: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Although commonly referenced in popular culture, studies have not empirically demonstrated the existence of these stages, and the model has been considered by some to be outdated and unhelpful in explaining the grieving process. Another popular gives stages of reactions to grief is Parkes 5 stages, they are alarm, searching, mitigation, anger and guilt, and gaining a new identity. |
