Differentiate Kubler-Ross' stages of death and dying.

I think that Dr. Kubler- Ross' findings might be seen as
almost cliched today because she literally pried the door open on how people perceive
death.  Her work is very consistent with the approach towards taboo subjects in the
1970s, where therapy became so prevalent in the social order.  The study of how people
approach death is profound and has become such a part of medical and psychological
thought about death that the cliched element might be present.  The stages she
identifies are seen as parallel to those particular therapeutic approaches to any
problem.  The first stage is denial, where the individual negates the initial
proposition of death.  This is the first stage because it is the first moment where the
individual is made aware that their life is ending.  A deeper recognition of denial is
anger, when the individual feels that there has been an injustice in their selection to
have to face death.  From the overall position of negation, the subject has personalized
this experience in asking why they have been chosen to receive this fate.  The stage of
bargaining is one where some level of acceptance is evident, but that the individual is
seeking to make an arrangement, thinking that death is something that can be alleviated
and visited on someone else.  The grieving stage is the first time where the individual
recognizes that there is no escape, and that all their attempts are futile.  It is also
a preparatory stage towards acceptance, where some level of peace has been made and the
individual is ready to embrace the reality of life in this world ending.  The stages
might experience some vacillation with different people, but most agree that there is
some replication to and with others in this configuration.
