five Stages toe Dying Knowing bow to help someone do* to us, who is dying, is one of the most difficult and important experiences we face. "The dying person's impressions of life may appear different or strange, but they are real and may contain more truth than logic in the usual sense," sayd Dr. Leo Hawkins, extension human development specialist at North Carolina State Uni versity. Research has outlined five stages faced by the dying person and a friend should be aware of these when involved with the one who is dying, because the stages and impressions are real. The first stage, of shock and denial, the "no, not me" stage, is gradually dropped. But it may reoccur from time to time, Dr. Hawkins says. Second is the stage of anger, of "why me?," and the person needs to be able to voice his feelings and relieve the tension. The third stage is "bar gaining." The person promises some important thing or action in return for more time. The end of bargaining usually signifies the beginning of the acceptance of death, Hawkins notes. Depression is the fourth stage and although friends may work to cheer the dying person, he should be allowed to express his grief. "By allowing an individual to express his growing depression and grief he can probably reach the final stage of acceptance. This final stage is not one of bitter defeat, but usually one of peace within," the specialist explains. With Our Servicemen Marine Pvt. James P. Terry, Jr., son of Susie H.
