From our dialogue with Dr. Kubler-Ross, we come to realise that each stage may prove to be an occasion for one to learn his lesson concerning the meaning of life. If a person manages to make good use of the opportunity, he may attain such an edifying transfiguration of life that reveals that dying can be a challenge for one to confront one's ultimate concern, a chance for achieving spiritual growth, and pathway through which one may appropriate for oneself the value of love.生命死亡臨終否認與孤立憤怒議價抑鬱接受希望彌留LifeDeathDyingDenial & isolationAngerBargainingDepressionAcceptanceHopeDecathexisjournal article
