The Five Stages of a Giraffe in Quicksand

DigYourOwnGrave videos has a great cartoon about the Kübler-Ross model of coping with tragedy. Certainly more entertaining than reading the chapter about it for the psych students out there!

They don’t have a way to post the video here so here’s the youtube version.

And for those of you too lazy to click on the wikipedia link above, here are the 5 stages:
“The stages are:

1) Denial: The initial stage: “It can’t be happening.?
2) Anger: “Why me? It’s not fair.”
3) Bargaining: “Just let me live to see my children graduate.”
4) Depression: “I’m so sad, why bother with anything?”
5) Acceptance: “It’s going to be OK.”" (source: wikipedia)
