Attention:Stages_of_Grief

 

Grieving is the process of letting go of fixed attention.

 

Managing the Grieving Process

 

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, physician and renowned expert on grieving, provides us with the five stages of grieving.

[Kübrel-Ross, E. (169). On Death and Dying. New York: Macmillan.]

 

The stages are:

 

1. Denial and isolation - The initial stage.: "It can't be happening."

2. Anger - "How dare you do this to me?!" (either referring to God, the deceased, or oneself)

3. Bargaining - "Just let me live to see my son graduate."

4. Depression - "God please don't take me away from my family"

5. Acceptance:

"...[Source:Acceptance|acceptance does not require that change is possible or even conceivable, nor does it require that the situation be desired or approved by those accepting it..."
