The kübler-ross model, also known as the five stages of grief is a   hypothesis put forward by Dr. Elisabeth kübler-ross which attempts to explain how a person experiences emotional changes when he/she is faced with  personal trauma, grief and grieving  associated with death and dying. 

According to the theory a person goes through a five stage process which in order are,
1. Shock and Denial 
Her ideas, notably the five stages of grief model is transferable to varying degrees and in different ways, to personal change and emotional upset resulting from factors other than death and dying. For example the model can be applied  on situations such as work redundancy, enforced relocation, crime and punishment, disability and injury, relationship break-up, financial despair bankruptcy and various other personal aspects of life.

3. Bargaining

5. Acceptance 

Its clear that The 'grief cycle' is actually a 'change model' which can be studied and used for helping to understand and deal with (and counsel) personal reaction to trauma.
