Psychiatrist author Kubler-Ross dies

[Guest guest]

Dr. E. Kubler-Ross a psychiatrist who famously theorized in 1969 that terminally

ill patients go thru 5 stages of grief- denial, anger, bargaining, depression

and acceptance- has died at age 78 after her own prolonged bout with illness.

She was best known for her 1969 book " on Death and Dying " bringing the forbidden

topic of terminal illness into the public discourse.

I believe the 5 stages of grief apply not just to terminallly ill patients, but

also to people suffering a loss of any kind- whether it is a death or loss of

ability or loss of dreams or whatever.

I agree with you completely.
