Five Stages of Grief
- The five stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance) are a widely recognized but contested theory.
- Groundhog Day mirrors these stages, but grief is not a linear process with a definitive end like in films.
Kübler-Ross and the Afterlife
- Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, initially skeptical of the afterlife, changed her views after a patient, Mrs. Schwartz, was revived after being declared dead.
- Mrs. Schwartz's near-death experience and later spiritual guidance influenced Kübler-Ross's beliefs about death and the afterlife.
Victorian Mourning
- Victorian mourning rituals, though strict, provided structure with specific attire, mourning stationery, and even jellies.
- Funeral clubs existed to ensure proper burials, believed necessary to prevent the deceased's soul from wandering.
