5 stages of grief - Kubler-Ross model Courtesy Sreejith Krishnan

The 5 stages of grief are captured in the Kubler-Ross model. Denial-Anger-Depression-Bargaining-Acceptance.

These 5 stages apply to all the negative events in our lives. Imagine you drive to work every day. As you try to switch on the car, you realise the battery is down.

You try to start again and again - you deny that it do not start.

You get angry and hit at the car and ask why it happened

You bargain saying, this one time you start and going forward you will maintain the car well.

You get depressed and start worrying about  how you could manage the days ahead

You accept the fact, that the car would not start, inform office you may be late, take a cab and go.

The best thing is to move from stage 1 to last stage as soon as possible. Accept the fact and take positive action as soon as possible.

The fear we had when the Covid was 100 is not there when it is 2,00,000. This is because we have accepted it now, and gone through the five stages. 

Denial - we refused to believe such a thing will happen, to us. We justify that it will not effect hot region.

Anger - due to loss of daily routine.

Bargaining - why lock down, we will take care, 

Depression - from mild to clinical depending on our mental fitness.

Acceptance -

The degree and intensity vary from person to person. Some people stick to one phase. Example Trump is still in denial stage.

Resilience is the ability to fight back. Make peace with it. Change is the truth of life. Don't close the book , just turn the page.
