How many stages of grief are there?

The original Kübler-Ross model describes 5 stages. Some later frameworks expanded this to 7. More recent research has moved away from rigid stage models, emphasizing that grief is individual and non-linear. What research consistently shows: grief does not follow a predictable path, healing is not the same as forgetting, and support significantly affects how people move through loss. Lovon is here for all of it.
