It describes, in 5 discrete stages, a process by which people deal with grief and tragedy.
Denial – "I feel fine."; "This can't be happening, not to me."
Anger – "Why me? It's not fair!"; "How can this happen to me?"; "Who is to blame?"
Bargaining – "Just let me live to see my children graduate."; "I'll do anything for a few more years."; "I will give my life savings if..."
Depression – "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"; "I'm going to die... What's the point?"; "I miss my loved one, why go on?"
Acceptance – "It's going to be okay."; "I can't fight it, I may as well prepare for it."
