Kübler-Ross and the Stages of Grief
Captions available
The idea
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross proposed five stages people commonly move through facing death — denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance.
In practice
A person who first denies, then grows angry at the unfairness, illustrates the first two stages.
Where people slip
The stages describe common patterns, and they are not a fixed order every person follows.
