The Randolph Model: The 5 Stages of Grief

Kubler-Ross created 5 Stages of Grief to explain how humans react to profound news of death and dying. Her stages included:

1. Denial: Individuals believe there's an error in DX or info, & cling to a false reality.
2. Anger: Anger ensues after the individual recognizes that their denial cannot continue.
3. Bargaining: An internal negotiation for longer life or lessened consequence, is sought.
4. Depression:  Now, the individual is saddened at the recognition of their mortality.
5. Acceptance: Lastly, individuals embrace their mortality or inevitable future with a calm, retrospective view, and a stable condition of emotions.

Randolph's 5 Stages of Grief, is somewhat parallel, but immensely simplified.
1. Denial: Are you fucking kidding me?
2. Anger: Fuck you, you fucking motherfuckering whore!
3. Bargaining: Fuck that shit!
4. Depression:  Fuck me. 
5. Acceptance: Oh, fuck it!
