Part of Lesson Plan: Understanding Death and Dying

Activity Overview / Details

Review each stage in the acceptance of death and  provide an example of how to be of help to someone at each of the five stages. Share with students that individuals can move from one stage to another i.e shock to anger and then move back to shock.  It is very normal and people will not always progress through stages of death at the same time.  For example, the patient may move into the anger stage while the family is still in the shock stage.
