THE CYCLE OF<JRIEF During the 1960s, Dr. Elizabeth Kiibler-Ross, a Swiss psychiatrist, performed landmark research that identified the “grief cycle.” Upon learning of their imminent demise, each of her subjects reacted with shock. The universal first reaction upon hearing the news was, “No”. The second stage, which quickly followed, was denial - “This can’t be happening to me.” The third stage was anger, which was usually directed at God, nature, or luck. This needed to be understood by the family because the anger usually became directed at them at some point. The fourth stage was bargaining in which patients typically hoped that God would spare them in exchange for promised behavior. Next came grieving (the longestlasting stage), followed, finally, by acceptance.
Grief evokes an odd set of reactions in us all - all the more so because we cannot predict how we will feel on any given day following a loss. At the Moser Funeral Home, we know what helps is to have others take care of the details and support you in your decision-making so your burden is lessened, and we’re good at that.

"Show me the manner in which a nation cares for its dead and 1 w ill measure w ith mathematical
