The process of mourning, which is one of the most difficult processes for human beings, is known as the sadness and mourning experienced after the loss. There are factors that affect the grieving process. Some of those; The personality traits of the mourner, the bond with the bereaved, the individual's support network, developmental factors, culture, and the individual's coping strategies.
Ross designed a five-stage model of the mourning process as the phase of adapting to the loss of self. This model consists of 5 phases.
1. Denial (At this stage, the person can make statements such as "Why did it happen to me, why me?". Avoidance behavior is observed.)
2. Anger (In this stage, the individual tends to express his feelings that he cannot control by blaming his environment. In this way, he may resort to invalid treatment methods by trying to keep his feelings under control, not showing the expected reactions.)
3. Bargaining (In this phase, compared to the phases described above, the state of acceptance has been entered, the fluctuations in mood are less intense. The individual has accepted the pain experienced, but the sadness is intense. In order to cope with the sadness, the individual can try to change the reality by making agreements.)
4. Depression (It is the stage where the person faces reality, denial and getting rid of anger, the pain and distress of mourning. The level of depression is not the same for every individual, it varies. As a result of mental depression, avoidance of interpersonal relationships, insomnia, eating problems are seen. Ross, grief level increases. says that the process has started to improve.)
5. Acceptance (At this stage, where the truth is accepted and emotions are resolved, the individual tries to adapt to the new life process. In the acceptance, which is the last stage of the grief process, the individual is more extroverted, tending to digest this grieving process.)
