deals with death, and our inability to deal with what becomes to us after death. Konstantin became disappointed when the scientific texts written on the subject gave the same answer as the spiritual ones – “they tell us everything will get better after death,” he explains, “but we don’t really know and I am still afraid.”
The five steps of the title refers to The Kübler-Ross model of the five stages of grief introduced in Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s 1969 book, On Death and Dying. The five stages are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. The seven swords, meanwhile, refers to the seven swords seen to pierce the Virgin Mary’s heart in Catholic iconography. |
