There are five stages of grief according to Elisabeth Kübler-Ross:

1. Stage One (Denial): "That did not happen", and "Stop joking."

2. Stage Two (Anger): "There is no God", and "This should not have happened."

3. Stage Three (Bargaining): "God I promise I will never blank again if you bring them back."

4. Stage Four (Depression): "Why did this happen", "It is not fair", and "How can I go on?"

5. Stage Five (Acceptance): "Things happen for a reason", "I am okay, ____ would want me to go on."
