The Five Stages

Worksheet Description

This educational worksheet is designed to help students explore and understand “The Five Stages of Grief.” At the top, it features a brief introduction that acknowledges the common sequence of emotional states many people undergo after a loss: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. It also emphasizes the personal nature of grief, noting that not everyone will experience these stages in the same order or at all, reinforcing the idea that grief is a highly individual process.

Beneath the introduction, the worksheet offers a structured space for personal reflection. It prompts students to document their emotions and thoughts over multiple entries, with designated lines to record the date, the stage of grief they are experiencing, their current thoughts, and their feelings. This layout encourages continuous self-awareness and self-expression, allowing students to track the evolution of their grieving process over time. It serves as both an educational tool and a personal diary, providing young learners with a guided method to articulate and navigate their emotional journey through grief.
