The human body is not immortal and for that reason we all experience grief at one point in our life. The only difference is that we all view and react differently to the death of a loved one. We tend to be more affected by the death of a close relative or friend in comparison to a person which might just be an acquaintance. For some people even when they experience losing their pet it can be a difficult grieving process. Kubler-Ross identifies applying The Five Stages of Dying Model to both the dying and the survivor. (1969-1981).The first stage identified is one, shock and the adjustment/acceptance. There are people that become very saddened and depressed when they lose their loved one.

She states that they are not tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling. But they are not stops on some linear timeline in grief. Not everyone goes through all of them or goes in a prescribed order (Kubler-Ross et al., 2005). A description of Kubler-Ross' five stages of grief are:…
