Question

Ralph is 73 years old, and has recently been diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. after being unable to sleep, he sits up in bed and pleads silently with god to allow him to live long enough to witness the birth of his first grandchild. which stage of the kübler-ross model is ralph experiencing?

Answer 1

He is likely to be at the 5th stage-Acceptance.

While he plead for god to allow him to live long enough,we can see that he does not deny the fact that he is going to die. In fact,from the plea we can deduce that he has accepted that he is going to pass away thus only hoping to live long enough,thus I believe that he is at the 5th stage.

Hope it helps!
