1.Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance

Answer 2

A lot of people at first deal with Denial, and they almost refuse to accept that the person that they've loved for so long has left them. Then they will go through a stage of Anger and get angry not only at themselves but sometimes the person who has left the earth. After that they will go through a Grieving stage and will mourn the loss in their own special way. Finally they will arrive at the Acceptance stage and realize that the person has truly left and will not be returning and they are able to accept this fact. Then comes the most important stage and that is Closure, here they are better able to get on with the events in their lives and put some type of closure on the person's passing. Not all go through each of these steps and some will vary or go through them at different times.

Answer 3

Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. The thing is, people experience these feelings during the dying period, not necessarily after the person dies. Not everyone goes through all the stages, and not everyone goes through at the same pace. Some people get stuck, such as continuing to Deny for a very long time. The important thing is to get to Acceptance. We have to accept the way things are in order to function in a healthy way.

Answer 4

Depression, anger and wanting to kill themselves or the loved ones accept the fact that the person is buried 6 feet under. Some people can accept the fact that the person has died and can reflect on the good times they had with that person and is fortunate that they died because you hope that their right next to God in Heaven but most of the time, people cannot accept the fact that their loved ones are gone and are not coming back. In this case, they become depressed and start taking some kind of drug to try and imagine that the person was there or to forget that the person was dead.. It's a sad thing but it happens =(

Answer 5

I think iit's pretty much the same as the psychological stages for any major trauma.

1. Denial - They act like the incident (death, etc.) never happened.
2. Anger - They react angrily (and sometimes violently) towards the person(s) who caused the stressful event.
3. Depression - Pretty much self-explanatory.
4. Self-Blame - The person begins to blame themself for what has happened.

I think that's it, though there may be a 5th step I'm missing. Hope this helps!

Answer 6

The 3 stages we go through are: denial, anger, and then acceptance. We may not all go through these stages in this order, and each stage lasts different times with each individual. Each and every one of us is different. I still have trouble dealing with the loss of my son last year, but I have come to accept that he is not here. I do, however, feel his presence at odd times and I know he is o.k. My faith in God has really sustained me.

Answer 7

Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Depression
Acceptance

You don't necessarily go through these in this order and you may experience each one more than once. A grief counselor is trained to help people through the grieving process and they can be very helpful.
