6. Five Stages of Grief Developed by Elizabeth Kuebler-Ross
Based on research on terminally ill patients
• Denial and isolation: "This is not happening to me."
• Anger: "How dare God do this to me."
• Bargaining: "Just let me live to see my son graduate."
• Depression: "I can't bear to face going through this, putting my family through this."
• Acceptance: "I'm ready, I don't want to struggle anymore."
Is applicable to athletics and injuries
Stages are fluid and some take longer than others
Athletes may move backwards and forwards
