What are the six stages of DEATH?

Question

I know acceptance is the final one. I also know that bargaining is one and so is denial. What are the rest and in what order?

Answer 1

Depending on individual needs, a person may stay in one stage for a long time, move back and forth from one stage to another, or move through each stage in the order listed below:


DENIAL:
This may be expressed by feeling nothing or insisting there has been no change. It is an important stage and gives people a "time out" to reorganize. People in this stage need understanding and time.


ANGER:
Often, after denying a situation, people turn around and react. This reacting can be defined as anger. It can be expressed in nightmares and fears and in disruptive behavior. People in this stage need opportunities to express anger in a positive and healthy way.


BARGAINING:
The purpose of bargaining is to regain a loss. Consequently, a promise is made to do something in order to get something in return.

Bargaining may be expressed through threats, tantrums, or demands. It can also be expressed in angelic behavior or perfectionist tendencies.


DEPRESSION:
This sets in when it is realized that anger and bargaining will not work and one begins to understand that a change may be permanent. This is a stage of grieving for whomever or whatever is lost.

People in this stage need to know that others understand and are concerned about their feelings.


ACCEPTANCE:
Acknowledgement of a death _ a period of calm after release of emotions, demonstrated by a lifting of sadness and a willingness to keep living.


HOPE:
Evidenced by a revitalization of energy, a renewed interest in old friends, the development of new friendships, and the return of a sense of humor.

Here are the five stages of Death and Dying Kuber-Ross
1, Denial and isolation: Denial and isolation make up the first stage in the dying process as she defined-it. Denial is both healthy and familiar initial reaction. It cushions patients from the initial shock and allows them to deal with both their hope and their despair.

2. Anger: Anger frequently follows denial as patients begin to accept the real possibility of death. there may be rage,envy,resentment, and bitterness. This frequently includes the "why me"? question that so often has no answer.

3. Bargaining: The third stage is bargaining. Usually these bargains are secret pacts made with God, regardless of whether the patients have been religious earlier in life. when bargaining flails, the next stage develops.

4. Depression: When death is recognized as inevitable and the loss has become overwhelming, depression set in, Depression often includes sadness, pessimism, gloominess, and feelings of guilt and worthlessness along with lethargy.

5. Acceptance: Eventually, the depression lifts as patients work through mourning the impending loss of their life or the loss of a loved one and come to accept the inevitable. This stage is described as being almost void of feelings. At this point, individuals are in the process of disengaging from this life if they are dying or disengaging from a loved one if that person is dying or has died. Here you go, hope it is helpful to you
