“The concept of the ‘Five Stages of Grief’ has been debunked and disproven by various experts and studies. Psychologists and grief experts have highlighted that there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that most people go through these stages in a specific order or experience all of them. Research has failed to establish a clear sequence of emotional phases in response to loss, indicating that grief is a complex and individualized process that does not fit into neat stages.
The stages were originally developed by psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross for people facing death, not for those grieving a loss.
The belief in these stages persists due to the appeal of storytelling and narrative structures like the Hero’s Journey, but in reality, grief is open-ended, without a set endpoint or linear progression. Traditional cultures often maintain connections with the dead through rituals, emphasizing that grief does not have closure. Therefore, the idea of the Five Stages of Grief as a universal and sequential process has been refuted by experts in the field.” (From Perplexity.)
