Elisabeth Kubler-Ross five (5) stages of grieving are;

Denial,Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance.

DENIAL; This stage involves a conscious refusal to accept facts, information and reality relating to a person's condition. Denial is a defense mechanism as well as a natural process. Here, the person refuses to accept loss, not ready to accept the consequences of the reality of loss example lonliness or false threat.

ANGER; This can manifest in different ways,people grieving can become angry with themselves and with others especially those close to them and even with Health care providers.There might be anger with God."Why me?"

is the question always asked feeling that others are more deserving.

BARGAINING; This stage is brief and hard to study because it is often between the person grieving and God, The person may want to bargain to reverse loss or prevent it.example asking if something can be done,miracle or anything else.

DEPRESSION; The person has just began to accept reality, The person grieving goes into talkativeness,complain,murmur and may also withdraw himself/herself from contact with reality.

ACCEPTANCE; This is not always a happy stage,it is usually void of feelings,it takes a while to reach this stage,it entails basically giving up on the situation. The person affected(grieving) finally accepts the situation and fate.
