1. Stage: Denial & Isolation
Although both the site and the text agree to the type of reactions that fall in line with the "denial" stage, they differ again in the audience. The site seems to be more general whereas the book address only terminally ill and such.
2. Stage: Anger
In both, it is fairly straight forward that this stage occurs after the person has passed the denial stage. Now you're just trying to find different things to piss you off so that you don't have time to feel anything. The website is really good at having more useful information along with other ways that anger can be caused; such as the feeling guilt and other motivators.
3. Stage: Bargaining
Arguably(haha) the best stage. According to the book, this is the stage where everyone seeks hope and some sort of forgiveness/purity from the heavens. The site makes an interestingly direct take on it; that we are literally just trying to get control of our lives.
4. Stage: Depression
Surprisingly enough, this is the section where the two sources differed the most! According to the book, Kubler-Ross advised against cheering the person up and that it is healthy to think of death. On the other hand, the site describes two forms of depression, both ending with the conclusion that the person going through this needs compassion and love etc.
5. Stage: Acceptance
The website is so direct and...personal even in how it speaks to the reader. In the grand scheme of things, this final step is really about coping, and how we each have different ways to cope.

And of course, the biggest issue that Kubler-Ross's study had was just its inability to be flexible in sequence and in different situations. (not that the website would point that out since all they did was a basic citation.)]]> 2017-05-17 01:39:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/grief/wish/172227961 jkosche0801 https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/grief/wish/172233461 Children have always been looked down on for their overall inability to understand complex emotions/concepts because certain things just aren't there yet for them. I have always found it ridiculous, however, that they aren't usually allowed to take part in rituals that are meant to aid in grief. Sugar coating the truth doesn't make it any better, much like sugar, it'll come back to haunt you as it builds up and clogs your arteries. There are so many situations that can arise from these lies that I never considered. I was fascinated that a child as young as THREE YEARS showed signs of grief without actually knowing what was going/ lack of knowing that anything was going on. With the wise words of one of my favorite comedians regarding explaining death (such as pets to bigger deaths) "consider it a dry run for grandma" as dark as that may sound I guess it really rings some truth!]]> 2017-05-17 02:34:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/grief/wish/172233461 jkosche0801 https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/grief/wish/172235012 2017-05-17 02:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/grief/wish/172235012 jkosche0801 https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/grief/wish/172235446 2017-05-17 02:53:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/grief/wish/172235446
