Despite the multitude of losses we experience in our lifetime, death is likely to be the most paramount. Acceptance of losses and death takes time and energy as an individual passes through various phases of a process known as the grief process. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (1969) has defined five stages in the grief process that individuals pass through in moving toward acceptance of losses. A case study has been presented to share one family's journey through these five stages. If a strict disease-oriented viewpoint is adopted, then the case was a failure: the patient died. From an emotional and spiritual viewpoint, however, this individual and his family achieved success, as they had time to complete their journey to acceptance.
尽管我们在一生中会经历众多损失，但死亡可能是最为至关重要的。当一个人经历被称为悲伤过程的各个阶段时，接受损失和死亡需要时间与精力。伊丽莎白·库伯勒 - 罗斯（1969年）定义了悲伤过程中的五个阶段，个体在迈向接受损失的过程中会经历这些阶段。本文呈现了一个案例研究，以分享一个家庭经历这五个阶段的历程。如果采用严格的以疾病为导向的观点，那么这个案例是失败的：患者去世了。然而，从情感和精神层面来看，这个人和他的家人取得了成功，因为他们有时间完成迈向接受的旅程。
