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??

Kat, someone also listed a bunch of online resources in one of the older threads; you might want to take a look and pull it all together in one place or link the threads. It might have been in Animaterra's bereavement thread.... I dunno, but it's not something I can work on today, anyhow.

With so much loss in our community and individual lives, I thought this site might be helpful for some: Online Grief Library. Some of it may seem like simple stuff, but it never hurts to be reminded.

The actual site where the library resides, Eternal Reefs, is actually pretty interesting...they've found a way to help replenish fragile environment while also providing a unique way of planting one's ashes, so to speak.
