Stages of Grief

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross' five stages of grief when facing a terminal illness.

1. Denial - No way, I'm not sick; it can't be me!
2. Anger - Damn it! Why me?
3. Bargaining - God, help me! I'll do anything to get out of this.
4. Depression - I just can't go on, I can't stand it. I give up.
5. Acceptance - This is the end; I'll try to go in peace with dignity
