Why not just the 5 stages of depression? Are there more theories out there than this one? Did she copywrite it? Is it common medical practice to reference the theorist's name before the theory if the theory has been popularly recognized as an actual phenomenon? The only reason I make note is: 1, I was going through the same thing that night; and 2, these stages (referencing Ms. Kubler-Ross) were the backbone of a scene in the play I teched for back in August. In the anger section, the character going through it says "Elizabeth Kubler Ross can sit on my face!" In the bargaining phase, the character says, "If I let Elizabeth Kubler Ross sit on my face, will I get better?" Since that play, I hear the 5 stages referenced all the time, prefaced by 'Kubler-Ross's'. By the way, election night, we went to a very cool restaurant whose house Pinot Noir was called "Parker Station"; made in Santa Barbara. The bottle we had was from 2002. You should try it sometime, it was a very nice wine. Can't describe it in wine conoisseur's terms...I do not have control of that type of vocabulary.

I just said "Kubler-Ross" because that's what Google told me to do. :-) I have no idea if there are other, competing, stages. I just said “Kubler-Ross” because that’s what Google told me to do. :-)
