Which of the following is NOT a stage in Kubler-Ross's five stages of dying?

In Kubler-Ross's model, which outlines the five stages of grief and coping with death, the stages include denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Anxiety is not one of the defined stages in this model.

The model demonstrates how individuals process loss and the varying emotions they may experience throughout this process. Each stage represents a different emotional response that people might encounter, providing a framework for understanding how individuals deal with grief.

The stages are sequential but not necessarily linear; individuals may cycle back through stages multiple times. Understanding these stages helps both caregivers and those grieving to navigate their emotional responses and understand that these feelings are part of the journey. Anxiety may accompany many of these stages, but it is not formally recognized as one of them in Kubler-Ross's framework.
