The following is a guest post from a longtime reader and commenter who goes by Robinson Tilapia in the comments. Enjoy.
In 1969, psychologist Elizabeth Kubler-Ross published the classic “On Death and Dying,” which introduced the world to her Five Stages of Grief. Even if you only took a high school elective on psychology, you’ve probably come across the five stages. They are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Throughout the years, Kubler-Ross later expanded her model in order to incorporate other sorts of losses that were not necessarily related to death, such as divorce, displacement, and loss of job.
