Read about Kubler-Ross’ theory of dying.

1. According to Kubler-Ross’ theory, we go to different emotional responses when we are dying. If you were dying, which one of the stages/repsonses would you see as the most difficult stage for you to endure? Why?

1. Reflect on Kubler-Ross’ theory, do you think all dying people go through all responses, do you think everybody follow the same pattern? Why or why not?
