dc.description.abstractA large body of literature pertaining to grief and loss explores the phenomenon in the context of healing following the death of a loved one. Much of this literature focuses on grief in the form of losing a romantic partner to death. Similarly, this field of research also contains literature that focuses on grieving the loss of a romantic partner, but through breakup. Various models of grief have been established as guidelines for the type of experiences a bereaved individual may experience while grieving; however, there exists limited research highlighting the applicability of such grief models to the context of romantic breakup. This paper responds to these limitations by exploring the applicability of the five stages of grief model to instances of romantic dissolution. This paper argues that there exist many parallels between grief experiences suggested by the five stages model and healing from romantic breakup, some of which are contingent on specific qualities of the relationship and the relationship termination, such as attachment style, role of initiation, and the extent of future plans for the relationship.
