Kubler-Ross' Death / The Final Stage of Growth : 8 pages in
length. America, says Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, is a death-denying

acquaintance, we ask what was wrong with him -- as though
death were somehow a rare or abnormal condition caused by
something he did. This thoughtful essay and review of Kubler's
well-known book argues that the American method of handling
the subject of death is injurious to both the dying and their
survivors. The primary source is quoted and full citation is
