Стадии принятия смерти Кюблер-Росс

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross developed a model on the stages of dying to understand how individuals cope with dying.

She focused on studying terminally ill individuals and outlined five stages commonly experienced when coping with death.

The first stage is  denial, which occurs when an individual refuses to accept the reality of death, often thinking, "This cannot be true." It serves as a defense mechanism against overwhelming emotions.

Anger follows as the individual begins to process the reality of death, often asking, "Why me?" This stage may involve frustration and a sense of unfairness.

The third stage is the bargaining stage, with individuals seeking ways to extend their time. They often negotiate with God, doctors, or internally, thinking, "If I could just have more time, I'd do anything."

The next stage is Depression, which usually follows a deep sadness, and individuals might lose interest in life, often questioning, "What's the point of doing anything?"

Finally, acceptance is reached when the individuals come to terms with their situation. They may find peace, thinking, "It will be okay."
