Five Stages of the B K The first stage is denial 31% Loss Upon hearing the diagnosis, the patient reacts with a shocked, "No, not me." According to Dr.Kubler-Ross, this is a healthy stage, and permits the patient and the family to develop other defenses. Next comes anger or resentment 50% Loss "Why me?" is the question asked now. "Why my child?" Blame, directed against the doctor, nurses and God often is a part of this stage. This outcry should be accepted, unjudged. The third stage is bargaining 61.5% Loss "Yes me, but-" "If you'll just give me five years, God, I'll . . ." This Dr. Kubler-Ross calls a period of temporary truce. The fourth stage is depression 75% Loss Now the person says, "Yes, me," with the courage to admit that it is happening; this acknowledgment brings depression. (Note: The family often goes through all the stages, along with the patient.) Finally comes acceptance 90% Loss A time of facing death calmly. This is often a difficult time for the family, since the patient tends to withdraw, to be silent. amazon.com
