Kudler Ross Model

The third stage in the Kubler Ross model is bargaining. Bargaining happens when someone thinks of alternatives to prevent the cause of grief. If it is a loss of a loved one, you may often hear someone say, ‘I would give anything to see them or hold them again.’ If it is a loss of a relationship, people generally say, ‘I would do anything for her/him to give me another chance.’ Other losses in life, including that of jobs, choices, games, or car accidents may impel people to want to go back into time and change certain events that have triggered this particular loss for them.. Often when someone feels helpless or vulnerable, they may feel that things may have panned out differently had they been a better person. People often engage in secret
It involves despair, sadness and questioning on their innermost values of life and reasoning. Often, this is the stage where people lose interest in things that were once very important to them, such as sports, hobbies, television shows, family or even their job. Each individual handles depression differently and uniquely. Some may experience low levels, while others become hyperactive. A thirteen-year-old will handle sadness differently from someone who is sixty-five years old. Some individuals cry, while some laugh. Some clean, some shop, some hoard items, while some confine themselves to home. Then there are those who reach out to their loved ones for consolation, while others end up committing suicide.

This is the stage where some individuals embrace, accepts and moves on from the loss they have experienced. Acceptance may never be attainable for some individuals. If someone accepts that the old way has ceased to exist and is willing to move forward by exploring a new direction, they are entering the stage of acceptance. In this stage, a person feels the need to regain control of whatever they have lost. Some people may resume dating, get another pet, replace a lost item, find a new job, buy a new home, or make new friends. Peace is achieved by most individuals during the acceptance phase. Peace has different connotations for different people. It may mean calmness for some, withdrawal for others, and social interaction for still others. For many, peace signifies a conscious self-induced change to accept the past and bravely resist the temptation to traverse through the previous phases of grief. Some characteristics of acceptance include embracing the loss and coming to terms with the fact that it was inevitable. When an individual reaches this stage, they could move back and forth to depression and bargaining in that they see certain things that remind them of their loss, such as a text message, a piece of clothing, a lost job opportunity, or a child that bears resemblance to their own child who has passed away. , During the phase of acceptance, a person might start to resuscitate themselves by harboring
