Summary

EPISODE 5: The Stages of GriefPodcast: Dying Laughing with Jessimae Peluso In this episode, I’m diving into the five stages of grief or as I like to call them, the emotional group chat from hell. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance sound great on paper... but in real life? They’re messy, unpredictable, and rarely show up in order. I’m sharing how each stage actually unfolded for me, with stories pulled from my Grief Survival Guide mini-series on Sharp Tongue, plus a fresh take on what it really means to “process” loss. I also unpack the difference between the classic five stages and the newer seven-stage model, and explain why grief doesn’t follow a rulebook it follows you, sometimes in sweatpants. Whether you’re deep in denial or mad at a bird (been there), this episode is here to help you feel seen, heard, and hopefully a little less alone. Thanks for supporting this show and this beautiful, messy grief community. Your support means I get to keep laughing through the sad stuff and help you do the same.

1:40.4	amazing writer and instigator, self-proclaimed instigator.
1:46.6	But today we're kicking off a little bit of a mini-series.
1:49.7	This is about the stages of grief, as told to us by a couple different models.
1:56.4	One, the more popular model from Elizabeth Kubler-Ross.
2:00.5	She introduced the five stages of grief from her book on death and dying that was in the late 60s.
