These 5 stages of Grief are part of a process which came from Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross (DABDA is also known as the 'Kubler-Ross' model), which studies the various forms of grief and structures it into a process which is understandable. However, the model is not something that HAS to be followed. One or all of the stages can apply to my character, but they don't have to come in that order. Kubler-Ross even states that she never meant for the stages to be taken in that order, and it doesn't always apply to everyone.
While the topic of my film is a serious one, I found a funny video to explain the Kubler-Ross model in a way of understanding a difficult event.
The DABDA process also appears in two books I loaned from the library, 'The Grief Recovery Handbook' (chapter 2), and 'Living with Loss'.
