The five stages of grief, as outlined by Dr. Kubler-Ross include denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Let’s take a closer look at each individual stage.
First Stage- Denial and Isolation
In the first stage, denial and isolation, a person denies to him or herself and to everyone around him that a loss has occurred. The person fights the reality of the situation by denying that there even is one. Often a person withdraws from his/her social activities and spends more and more time by himself. This stage can last for hours, days, and sometimes weeks, depending on the individual and the impact of the loss.
Second Stage- Anger
In the second stage, that of anger, a person is angry- angry at him/herself for the loss that took place, angry at the loved one who died for letting it happen and just plain angry at the world. On a rational level the person knows that none of what transpired was his/her fault but is functioning on a purely emotional level at this particular juncture.
Third Stage- Bargaining
The third stage is bargaining which can often occur either before or after a loss and usually involves bargaining with God. A person suffering may ask of God, “If I do this (or don’t do this) will you make the pain go away?” Or sometimes a person will say something to God along these lines, “If you make it not so, I promise that I will …”
Fourth Stage- Depression
The fourth stage is depression, and it takes place when the pain in the form of anger and despondency reaches its height and causes the grieving person to feel numb and deadened inside. The numbness leads to feelings of depression and usually a great deal of lethargy. Some people entertain thoughts of suicide at this stage. This stage is also the easiest to get stuck in.
Fifth Stage- Acceptance
The fifth and final stage, that of acceptance, completes the process. The mourning period with all of its roller coaster emotions begins to dissipate at this time and the grieving person is now ready to accept the reality of what has taken place. True healing cannot occur until there is acceptance of the loss. Once that happens, the person is free to move on with his/her life because the loss has been put into its proper context.
Teka. tama ba itong napasukan kong blog?
Hey hey 
So… 5 stages of grief. Which stage am I at? sana nasa depression na! para naman acceptance na agad ang next level. cool
BADoy: tama ka dyan! applicable naman yan kahit hindi lang sa pag may pumanaw kahit sa daily life applicable yan..
dapat may personal experience na kasama para mas maganda.
pero teka mali yata yun sige wag na lang kasi pangit connotation ng grief.
BADoy: pasensya na ayoko muna magsalita sa personal experience… pag ready nako sabihin ko… ganun talaga pag virgin ka pa sweet kunwari… heheheh!
oo nga lawstude parang may something na kulang kasi ala background story… intriga tuloy ako kung ano ang pinaghugutan ng entry na ito.
pero good post talaga may mapupulot ever!
ako namatayan na ng mahal sa buhay, siguro may isang stage dito na na-skip ako kaya may natitira pa rin na konti para masabi kong talagang nakapag-move on na ako. but wherever he is right now I pray talaga na ok siya.
saka ang history ay tapos na, ang problemahin ng buhay ay ang magagawan niya ng paraan. though gusto natin ng advance step i think may pagdadaanan stage talaga before masabi natin suvivor tayo. thansk for sharing mangbadoy
