You may have heard there are similarities between divorce and the death of a loved one. Both experiences are full of strong emotions often accompanied with stages of grief.
The typical stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally acceptance. Swiss psychologist Elisabeth Kubler-Ross discovered these stages when studying terminally ill patients. Her findings support these stages are part of our biology and help us cope with death. Years later she discovered people can experience these stages when going through any emotional loss, like a divorce. A spouse does not always go through every stage nor in an exact order.
