    GRIEVING AND HOW TO DEAL WITH IT

    Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
    •Introduced the Five Stages of Grief. These
    stages were based on feelings, including other
    negative experiences, life changes, and losses.
    TYPES OF SUPPORT

    Denial:
    •“This cannot be true.”
    •This is a stage where you would rather not
    believe what has happened.You suppress
    your feelings and allow yourself to believe
    certain things.
    TYPES OF SUPPORT

    Anger:
    •“Someone should pay!”
    •This stage redirects anger toward other
    things. Anger hides the true feeling.
    TYPES OF SUPPORT

    Bargaining:
    •“If only I was with him, this would not have
    happened.”
    •This stage would provide certain ideas of
    what-ifs to get everything back to normal.
    TYPES OF SUPPORT

    Depression:
    • “I am helpless.”
    •In this stage, the person may feel drowned
    by many emotions and may feel too heavy
    to move forward.
    TYPES OF SUPPORT

    Acceptance:
    •“I am okay.”
    •In this stage, the person has already made
    up their mind and wrapped things up. The
    person can already desire to look at the
    good days rather than the bad ones from
    past events.
