STAGES OF GRIEF
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.
