Understanding Death: Concepts, Stages, and Grief in Developmental Psychology

This chapter explores the development of the concept of death in children, detailing stages from ages 3 to 9, and how their understanding evolves from perceiving death as reversible to recognizing its universality. Influential theories, such as Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's stages of grief (Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance), provide insight into the emotional processes involved in bereavement. The chapter also discusses various contexts for death, including home, hospital, and hospice settings, as well as the ethical considerations surrounding euthanasia and assisted suicide.
