Critically discuss Kubler-Ross's stages of dying?

Question

Psychology exam question on her 5 stages of dying and how they empact on other religions and cultures

Answer 1

The five stages go in progression through denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. This model has been widely adopted by other authors and applied to many other situations where someone suffers a loss or change in social identity. The model is often used in bereavement work. Not all workers in the field agree with th Kübler-Ross model, and some critics feel the stages are too rigid.
Culture can look at how Victorians developed public funerals and grieving in the Queen Victoria as a period of grief went on for yours, whereas 21st century grieving is very compressed in time. Other cultures in Africa, India allow greater ritual and collective grief, many tears and sharing in grief, not quiet or silent grieving.
Religion and the role given to funeral rights, time in saying goodbye and beliefs in the afterlife might assist in the grieving process.
Think you need to at least Kubler-Ross, Colin Murray Parkes or current writers on multi-cultural grief.
