The Stages of Grief Let’s take a look at grief and the stages that are commonly used to describe this process. Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross introduced the stages of grief, commonly known as the five stages of grief. However, according to Kübler-Ross, not everyone goes through all of the five stages. She also states that everyone does not go through the stages in the order listed and one can switch back and forth between the stages (Snyder, 2009). The five stages are part of a framework to help one
There are many different ways to grieve over the death of loved ones. The way someone grieves is different depending on national origin, but also differs from person to person.

Death is inevitable. Any living thing that is born into the world comes with an expiration date. That date could be day one or at age 100. This event is sad and unwanted and almost no one knows how to perfectly cope with a loss of someone they knew.

Like many other people, my experience with loss would definitely begin with death. The very first death that I can remember was when I was seven or eight years old. The pastor of

sorrows for what future is set to hold for him. This would make anybody depressed, but learning what worries him and bring down his spirit ultimately lead to his acceptance also. Acceptance is not a new-found happiness of one spirit after a loss. Kubler-Ross describes acceptance as a “void of feelings” (loc.1964).

which are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance but in no particular order (Axelrod, J., 2014). We have to realize that death is a cinch and somewhere down the line we all will have to deal with it. First on Mrs. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross grief list is denial.

Invariably memoirs provide an account of the profound way grief alters their perception and experience of life after. They capture the psychosocial transition and identity crisis of grief, the disequilibrium
