that’s nonsense made up by a left wing woman doctor. It’s not fact.

stages of grief:
Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Depression
Acceptance

Right. When a household member died last month, I didn’t go thru any of that.
I went straight to feeling like a piece of crap. No denial, no anger, no bargaining.

On what do you base the claim that Elisabeth Kubler-Ross was a left winger?

Of course those stages are not fact, they are descriptive of what some folks have reported to researchers.

When my dad had a heart attack and passed away last year, when I heard my sister say ‘I think he’s already gone’, I instead interpreted as ‘they took him away in the ambulance’, read: denial. He was dead before he hit the floor.

My mother is bipolar, and it was never our plan (sis and bro and I) that dad would die first, and I was a little pissed, read: anger.

I cannot see how I went through bargaining ... but likely because it was so sudden. Had he been tied to a hospital bed for month after month, maybe I would have. don’t know.

Of course I have been depressed about it, and have had to accept the pretty extreme changes to my life (taking care of mom).

It’s not rocket science, folks, just a different way of looking at things, which may, for some, provide a means of dealing with the grief a bit more constructively.

I’m sure we’ve all known that one person who, when faced with grief, becomes a basket case for months.
