It’s Time to Let the Five Stages of Grief Die

The five stages of grief are ingrained in our cultural consciousness as the natural progression of emotions one experiences after the death of a loved one. However, it turns out that this model is not science-based, does not well describe most people’s experiences, and was never even meant to apply to the bereaved.
Of course, cold-hearted bastards like myself don’t have a problem with it. People die. Shit happens. Life goes on.
