Explain Kubler-Ross’s stages of dying and what subsequent research had to say about her theory
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
?Kubler-Ross theorized that people go through five stages of dying. These stages, in order of experience are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Later research offered confirmation of these stages, but studies also showed that there is individual variation. Not every dying person goes through every stage, nor do all dying individuals go through the stages in the same order.
