The Grief theory in Majoras Mask how each of the main areas of the game Represents one of the 5 Stages of Grief also extends to Romani ranch
the Sisters also go through all 5 stages Denial Anger bargaining Depression and Acceptance though not in the same order
The Gorman brothers harass and interfere with the Ranch's Milk deliveries and even go so far as to attack and destroy a shipment of Milk (I think they also put the Boulder there in the first place) -Anger
Cremia doesn't believe Romani when she tells her that "They" are coming and Romani is constantly practicing in preparation for their arrival -Denial
If "They" manage to get into the barn they abduct the Cows and hurt Romani to the point of Traumatizing her leaving Cremia filled with Dispair and Romani thrashing about in emotional anguish dispite having amnesia -Depression
on the 3rd day when you speak to Cremia she admits that she "knows it's not safe here either.." and clearly displays a hint of fear knowing that today will their last day alive -Acceptance
Later that day there is a conversation inside the house between you and the sisters where Romani is happy that her sister is finally letting her have Chataeu Romani and then Cremia asks Romani if she would sleep with her in her bed for that night so that she could spend her last moments alive with her sister who would be drunk off the milk and unaware of their impending doom -Bargaining
Romani Ranch... if nothing else this is reason enough to make the journey through Termina

Terrible, vague theories like that can fit almost any story. Any time there's conflict at all, you're likely to find grief.
there's important characters in every stage that DON'T represent any of the stages of grief. Arbitrarily choosing the ones that just happen to fit the theory is weak. ("Mutoh and Viscen are arguing because they don't agree the Moon is falling? I'd better just choose the one with Denial so it fits")
You're even admitting that the sisters don't go through the stages in order, which is bad enough, and also apparently extending the stages to include the Gorman brothers presumably because you can't find a time the sisters are angry. They might be involved in the sisters' situation, but each stage of grief is supposed to be experienced by the individual, that's the entire point. Why stop there? Just include the Moon because it's angry too.
Cremia not believing Romani is not denial. She literally just doesn't believe her.
Despair and depression happening simultaneously (and to different characters) does not fit the stages.
Cremia asking Romani to be with her is not bargaining. The bargaining stage is supposed to be against the grief itself: "please don't let this happen"
Terrible theory.
