Elisabeth Kubler-Ross- Author of the book “On Death
and dying”
- Swiss-American psychiatrist, a pioneer in near-death studies
Emotional and psychological response (life-threatening
illness or life changing situation)
16. 1. Denial
Grief is an overwhelming emotion. It’s not unusual to respond to the strong
and often sudden feelings by pretending the loss or change isn’t
happening.
Examples of the denial stage
• Breakup or divorce: “They’re just upset. This will be over tomorrow.”
• Job loss: “They were mistaken. They’ll call tomorrow to say they need me.”
• Death of a loved one: “She’s not gone. She’ll come around the corner any
second.”
• Terminal illness diagnosis: “This isn’t happening to me. The results are
wrong.”
17. 2. Anger
Where denial may be considered a coping
mechanism, anger is a masking effect. Anger is hiding
many of the emotions and pain that you carry.
Examples of the anger stage
• Breakup or divorce: “I hate him! He’ll regret leaving me!”
• Job loss: “They’re terrible bosses. I hope they fail.”
• Death of a loved one: “If she cared for herself more, this wouldn’t have
happened.”
• Terminal illness diagnosis: “Where is God in this? How dare God let this
happen!”
18. 3. Bargaining
is a line of defense against the emotions of grief. It helps you postpone the
sadness, confusion, or hurt.
creating a lot of “what if” and “if only” statements.
Examples of the bargaining stage
• Breakup or divorce: “If only I had spent more time with her, she would have
stayed.”
• Job loss: “If only I worked more weekends, they would have seen how
valuable I am.”
• Death of a loved one: “If only I had called her that night, she wouldn’t be
gone.”
• Terminal illness diagnosis: “If only we had gone to the doctor sooner, we
could have stopped this.”
19. 4. Depression
a quiet stage of grief
isolate oneself from others in order to fully cope with the loss
Examples of the depression stage
• Breakup or divorce: “Why go on at all?”
• Job loss: “I don’t know how to go forward from here.”
• Death of a loved one: “What am I without her?”
• Terminal illness diagnosis: “My whole life comes to this terrible end.”
20. 5. Acceptance
Accepting the reality, recognizing that this new reality is the permanent
reality.
Examples of the acceptance stage
• Breakup or divorce: “Ultimately, this was a healthy choice for me.”
• Job loss: “I’ll be able to find a way forward from here and can start a new
path.”
• Death of a loved one: “I am so fortunate to have had so many wonderful
years with him, and he will always be in my memories.”
• Terminal illness diagnosis: “I have the opportunity to tie things up and
make sure I get to do what I want in these final weeks and months.”
