Marie's attempt to "make a deal with God" to postpone her death until after a significant life event is indicative of the bargaining stage in Kubler-Ross's model of the stages of death and dying. This stage involves negotiating for more time or a reprieve from death, often with a higher power, in hopes of achieving a specific goal or completing unfinished business.
