Study Notes
Kübler-Ross's Five Stages of Grief
- Denial is the first stage, where an individual refuses to believe their terminal illness diagnosis. This allows them to cope with the initial shock and process the overwhelming information.
- Anger follows denial, often manifesting as resentment towards family, medical staff, God, or even healthy individuals. It is a reaction to the perceived injustice of their situation.
- Bargaining, the third stage, involves attempts to negotiate for extra time, often through promises or changes in lifestyle. It's a desperate attempt to regain control and potentially prolong life.
- Depression, characterized by feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a sense of impending doom, arises as the person accepts the inevitability of death. It can be triggered by the realization that their time is limited and their life is nearing an end.
- Acceptance is the final stage in which the individual comes to terms with their mortality and finds peace. This involves a sense of disengagement from the world and a desire to be with those they cherish.
