Do you believe in the six stages of death?

SIX STAGES THROUGH WHICH PEOPLE MUST PASS
WHEN CONFRONTED WITH DEATH*



Depending on individual needs, a person may stay in one stage for a long time, move back and forth from one stage to another, or move through each stage in the order listed below:

DENIAL:
This may be expressed by feeling nothing or insisting there has been no change. It is an important stage and gives people a "time out" to reorganize. People in this stage need understanding and time.

ANGER:
Often, after denying a situation, people turn around and react. This reacting can be defined as anger. It can be expressed in nightmares and fears and in disruptive behavior. People in this stage need opportunities to express anger in a positive and healthy way.

BARGAINING:

The purpose of bargaining is to regain a loss. Consequently, a promise is made to do something in order to get something in return. Bargaining may be expressed through threats, tantrums, or demands. It can also be expressed in angelic behavior or perfectionist tendencies.

DEPRESSION:
This sets in when it is realized that anger and bargaining will not work and one begins to understand that a change may be permanent. This is a stage of grieving for whomever or whatever is lost. People in this stage need to know that others understand and are concerned about their feelings.

ACCEPTANCE:
Acknowledgement of a death _ a period of calm after release of emotions, demonstrated by a lifting of sadness and a willingness to keep living.

HOPE:
Evidenced by a revitalization of energy, a renewed interest in old friends, the development of new friendships, and the return of a sense of humor.

I think this theory is when you're told you're going to die.

[ilovejordan]

I think this theory is when you're told you're going to die.

Oh.. lmao. Then nope i dont.

[Craig]

Well no-one can actually say wether they believe in this or not unless they have been told they're going to die.

[ilovejordan]

well craig i think i can because when my uncle was told he was going to die because of cancer he suffered neither depression, anger nor bargaining and denial.

[RedStratocas]

well craig i think i can because when my uncle was told he was going to die because of cancer he suffered neither depression, anger nor bargaining and denial.

Well then your uncle is good at taking it:rolleyes: Obviously this stuff doesnt apply to every person, there isnt any need to point out specific people and say the whole thing is false.

[Craig]

People take death differently, doesn't mean your going to go through the same ways as your uncle, you could feel any number of them emotions so you can't deny you won't go through them.

Exactly my point.

[MsTanya]

Oh.. lmao. Then nope i dont.
cassie, youre so blonde lmao

[Kyle.tk]

what if you get hit by a bus, going through all 6 stages in 0.00000008 seconds aint going to happen is it.

[jordybumz!]

what if you get hit by a bus, going through all 6 stages in 0.00000008 seconds aint going to happen is it.
that's not what it means. it's what you go through when someone else dies.

[Allan_banvict0m]

It's really the six stages to anything bad...

dying
pain
bereavement

y'know?

[RedStratocas]

Yes, I think these are the stages when someone CLOSE TO YOU (FGS, no one say someone they barely knew died and they stages happen). And again, THIS IS JUST FOR MOST PEOPLE.

[edible]

i dont understand. Im very dumb. Ask Craig

[Azza]

It really depends on the person.
yer they might go through the 6 or some or none and do other stuff. I think its more of you personaltie than the stages. So you do all most half some few 1 none of them ^^
i shud of added commas.. hmm

[hellogoodbye]

i believe in it i guess.
