Elizabeth Kübler-Ross

Elizabeth Kübler-Ross was a Swiss-American psychiatrist best known for developing the "Five Stages of Grief" model. This framework describes the emotional responses people often experience when facing loss, such as death or other significant life changes. The stages include denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. While not everyone experiences these stages linearly or all at once, the model helps explain how individuals process grief. Her work has significantly influenced understanding of emotional responses to loss, advancing both psychological theory and compassionate care.
