Stages of Grief As Per Kubler-Ross
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross proposed a five-stage model of grief describing denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance by which people react emotionally to personal trauma or change. People pass these stages back and forth, but not in an orderly progression. The intensity of each step may vary and is unique for each individual.
The five-stage model of grief proposed by Kubler-Ross:
- Denial: Refusing to accept the fact of the event
- Anger: Being angry with oneself or with others over the event
- Bargaining: Negotiating for better alternatives
- Depression: experiencing symptoms of sadness, fear, regret
- Acceptance: characterized by emotional detachment and objectivity
The strengths of the model
- Helpful to understand the emotional reactions to dying
- models the everyday experiences of grieving people
- Received both public and professional attention
- Adding value to the dying person
The weakness of the model
- Too simplistic
- Overgeneralization
- Lack of empirical evidence
- Lack of observable patterns of behaviors in each stage
- Subjective data gathering
