I did not just fail this quiz. I'm so mad at myself for doing so poorly! I'd give anything to have done better, ugh...I'm just so sad...but, what are you going to do? Life goes on...

Obligatory note about how these stages are not sequential, not all-inclusive nor universal. Everyone deals with tragedy a bit differently.

i remember when my dad's friend passed away in 2020

i experienced denial for a long time

It was mainly denial, depression, then acceptance

I for some reason skipped anger and bargaining or at least bargaining...

The lyrics of Space Song perfectly describe it from the moment I found out to how I moved forward

I can just picture Michael Scott glancing over at Google to name them when progressively trying to show how stricken he is by Ed Truck's death.

I typed in sadness but no dice. I won't ask for it to be accepted because I suppose that while to many of us there's no real difference, Ms. Kubler-Ross might have disagreed.

I also tried sadness. Unlike your acceptance that it wasn't allowed as a substitute, I am angry and would like to bargain for it to be allowed!

I thought refusal or rejection would also work instead of denial. I was wrong and for some reason couldn't think of the right word.

I thought about making a joke about being angry etc but I see that has already been done. Now I'm sad. Alas, I suppose I'll just have to accept my lack of creativity. ... dammit I did it anyways x(

As they say, "Anger" is not just a river in Egypt. It's a city in France (I think).

There's a Frasier episode on specifically this titled Good Grief. It's worth watching before doing this quiz!

Got 4/5 due to a faulty memory and the theory about that one Zelda game being about the 5 stages.

Maybe accept Isolation for Depression, and Shock for Denial?

I can't believe sadness isn't an accepted answer. I'm indescribably mad that such a widely accepted substitute for depression isn't accepted. Is there some way we can get sadness added? It's just so depressing that we have to use the word depression. But I guess I understand that this is the most straightforward way to do it.

I only know these because my mother fought for so much of her career as a grief counselor and educator to have this model completely debunked. It's bogus. Grief doesn't have 'stages' and it is no way a linear process.

LOL I only knew bargaining because of MandJTV talking about the stages of grief in one of his videos over the glitches in S/V or something.
