The origin of the five stages model of grief can be traced to Kübler-Ross’s (1969) On Death and Dying. Kübler-Ross’s fundamental premise was that the dying individual goes through five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance (often referred to by the acronym DABDA. However, it was only decades later that Kübler-Ross, joined by Kübler-Ross and Kessler (2005), turned her attention specifically to bereavement in their 2005 book, On Grief and Grieving. These five stages of grief are non-linear, and occurs as an overlay over the previous stage, and exponentially increases over the previous one. I have used the Fibonacci golden ratio to create the layers in this painting that depicts the overlay of one layer over the other in a cyclical fashion. This painting leaves with a hope that says that grief is cyclical. While it comes, it passes too. And we should know that grief is not permanent, it passes and wanes away into acceptance, like the previous one passed away.
