for a minute i was afraid you were saying that the grief place was dead and gone and there was an obit for IT.
the Hopsice folks have been quite a helpful resource for loss and grief.

well there are several....
but one that was shared with me by a counsellor
was the "Grief Cycle" which i believe is based
on observations by someone..perhaps Elizabeth
Kubler Ross. Describing stages of grief: DABDA
Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Depression
Acceptance
Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross died on Aug. 25, 2004.
She had dual citizenship with U.S. and Switzerland.
Kubler-Ross' 1969 book "On Death and Dying" was a best seller with her theory that the dying go through five stages of grief -- denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
Music connection:
No, DABDA is not a guitar tuning....but maybe banjo one??
