Death Of A Parent Effects

Elizabeth Kubler Ross developed the psychological theory about the states of mind or stages we all go through from experiencing a death or loss in our lives. This article attempts to update and reinterpret her work in a way that supports her five stages of bereavement from experiencing death.




 Those five stages are:

1) Denial and Isolation
2) Anger
3) Bargaining.
4) Depression
5) Acceptance
No one knows you like your parent.  It's a defining moment to lose someone so close.  As a younger child in a family, you could be expected to look to others to fill the void that will never completely be replaced by any other human being.  And, as an older sibling, you may be  relied upon as the one to help where the parent formerly gave support and encouragement to your younger brothers and sisters.
