to barter with doctors, family, or even God and may try to
bargain for cure, extra time with family or less pain. People
in this stage say, “Okay, but please…”
 ELISABETH KUBLER-ROSS’s 5 Stages of Death and Dying

4. DEPRESSION – as the dying person realizes death is

impending and has nothing left to bargain, he may
become depressed. He may grieve what he has
already lost (ability to walk, independence) and grieve
the impending separation from loved ones.
5. ACCEPTANCE – this is the period of calm and peace.
If the dying person was able to work through previous
emotional stages, they may be at point of reflectance
and embrace the end of their battle.
Kubler-Ross points out the sixth
emotional response that runs
throughout:

HOPE – this is critical for dying

patients, even if it is just the
hope of dying with dignity.
