On this podcast, David Powlison discusses a Christian perspective on Elisabeth Kubler-Ross’ five stages of grief. While Kubler-Ross provides a helpful starting point for the discussion of dealing with death and the hard things of life, the Christian perspective is always paired with 1 Thessalonians 4:13: “But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope” (ESV).
