Kübler-Ross’s Five Stages of Loss and Grief are:
- Denial
- Anger
- Bargaining
- Depression
- Acceptance
Denial
“The person getting
broken up with is unable to admit that the relationship is really over. They
may try to continue to call the person when that person wants to be left alone.”
“Yeah! Oh, Yeah!” by The Magnetic Fields
“By Your Side,” by CocoRosie
"Start Again," by Teenage Fanclub
Anger
"When the reality sets
in that the relationship is over, it is common to demand to know why they are
being broken up with. This phase can make them feel like they are being treated
unfairly and it may cause them to become angry at people close to them who want
to help aid the situation."
“Waiting for the Winter,” by The Popguns
"The One I Love," by REM

Bargaining
"After the anger stage, one will try to plead with their former partner by promising that whatever caused the breakup will never happen again. Example: 'I can change. Please give me a chance'."

Depression
"Next the person might feel discouraged that their bargaining plea did not convince their former partner to change their mind. This will send the person into the depression stage and can cause a lack of sleep, eating and even disrupt daily life tasks such as bowel movements."

Acceptance
"Moving on from the
situation and person is the last stage. The person accepts that the
relationship is over and begins to move forward with their life. The person might
not be completely over the situation but they are done going back and forth to
the point where they can accept the reality of the situation."
"Sheela-Na-Gig," by PJ Harvey
“This Time There's No Happy Ending," by Television Personalities
