Quote:In her classic study On Death and Dying, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross proposed the famous scheme of the five stages of how we react upon learning that we have a terminal illness:

denial (one simply refuses to accept the fact: “This can’t be happening, not to me.”);
anger (which explodes when we can no longer deny the fact: “How can this happen to me?”);
bargaining (the hope we can somehow postpone or diminish the fact: “Just let me live to see my children graduate.”);
depression (libidinal disinvestment: “I'm going to die, so why bother with anything?”);
acceptance (“I can't fight it, I may as well prepare for it.”).

Later, Kübler-Ross applied these stages to any form of catastrophic personal loss (joblessness, death of a loved one, divorce, drug addiction), and also emphasized that they do not necessarily come in the same order, nor are all five stages experienced by all patients.

Is the reaction of the public opinion among Bengals fans to Ced O and Fisher at Left and Right Tackle also not a similar combination of disparate reactions?
