The ‘five stages’ of Kubler Ross (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance) should be understood as ‘five facets’ - a terminology independent of the sequence one in grief is supposed to step through.
I think Kubler Ross makes people think she has gone too much in her dogmatic 'modeling'.
Kubler-Ross never intended her 5 stages to be used as a rigid framework. She said, “They were never meant to help tuck messy emotions into neat packages. They are responses to loss that many people have, but there is not a typical response to loss, as there is no typical loss. Our grieving is as individual as our lives.” I'm glad a publicist who used to edit for 'Glamour' magazine is speaking about grief.
Oh my gosh! This book sounds sooo good! I've often balked at the Kubler-Ross model and the way folks behave as if it's gospel. They pretty much worship the model. So glad someone challenged it ...and is limiting it as well. With the media machine it's so easy to make something a false truth ...and this has been a false truth used by trained and amateur psycho-babblers to hammer folks in nearly all grief situations. I hope this book does incredibly well and teaches folks to open their minds.
