Acceptance
if patients have enough time and support to work through the previous stages, they are neither depressed nor angry
acceptance of death can be reached if they work through the many conflicts and feelings that dying brings
acceptance is a form of dealing with reality, involves a gradual separation from people, life, ties, and roles
People cope with their death in different ways at different times and in different contexts (Corr et al., 2009).
Kübler-Ross made many people aware of the needs of the dying, and pointed out that bereavement involves some predictable stages of grief over a period of time.
