The Kübler-Ross model describes, in five discrete stages, the process by which people deal with grief and tragedy, especially when diagnosed with a terminal illness. The model was introduced by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in her 1969 book "On Death and Dying". The stages have become well-known as the "Five Stages of Grief".
Kübler-Ross originally applied these stages to any form of catastrophic personal loss (job, income, freedom). This also includes the death of a loved one and divorce. Kübler-Ross also claimed these steps do not necessarily come in order, nor are they all experienced by all patients, though she stated a person will always experience at least two.
Great play on words and use of type. Your composition just keeps on getting better and the fact that this is a personal piece just gives it even more weight and makes it actually mean something. Giving it reason.

devian Thanks keith. Your comments mean a lot, especially on this piece.
I know this has been here for a while but I just noticed it. This piece would bring the flow of a gallery to a halt as viewers paused to take it in and then reflect on how it affected them as individuals.
