=== "Five stages" model ===
{{Main|Kübler-Ross model}}

The [[Kübler-Ross model]], commonly known as the five stages of grief, describes a [[hypothesis]] first introduced by [[Elisabeth Kübler-Ross]] in her 1969 book, ''On Death and Dying''.<ref>{{Cite magazine|last=Nuland|first=Sherwin B.|author-link =Sherwin B. Nuland|date=2004-09-06|title=Appreciation: Dr. ELISABETH KUBLER-ROSS|language=en-US|magazine=Time|url=https://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,995057,00.html|access-date=2023-03-10|issn=0040-781X}}</ref> Based on the uncredited earlier work of John Bowlby and Colin Murray-Parkes, Kübler-Ross actually applied the stages to people who were dying, not people who were grieving.

The five stages are:
# [[denial]]
# [[anger]]
# [[bargaining]]
# [[Depression (mood)|depression]]
# [[acceptance]]

This [[model]] found limited empirical support in a study by Maciejewski et al.<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.1001/jama.297.7.716 |title=An Empirical Examination of the Stage Theory of Grief |year=2007 |last1=MacIejewski |first1=P.

The research of [[George Bonanno]], however, is acknowledged as debunking the five stages of grief because his large body of peer-reviewed studies show that the vast majority of people who have experienced a loss are resilient and that there are multiple trajectories following loss.
