What You'll Learn
The five stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance) are not linear but sequential and individual — not everyone passes through every stage, and not in order. The greatest gift you can offer the dying is honest presence — not false reassurance, but the willingness to be with them in their actual experience. The dying person often knows more than the caregivers allow them to acknowledge; permitting this knowledge is the beginning of dignified dying.
