The option that is not traditionally considered a stage of grief is "coping." The generally recognized stages of grief, often associated with Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, include denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. While coping is an important process in dealing with grief, it is not classified as one of the specific stages.
