January 9, 2017, is the 2nd anniversary of Tama Blough’s passing. Last week I re-read Elisabeth Kübler-Ross' book On Death and Dying after many years. There are many interpretations of the book, which endeavors to make death more comprehensible; most famously the stages of grief: shock, denial, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.  Those who knew or worked with Tama, her family, her close friends, her acquaintances, her colleagues… whether in the perfume or art communities, experienced many or all of these 'stages'.
