This article is unlocatable!? (almost)
Well, for all those without an extended character set anyway! Would it be possible to have the indexing in Wikipedia function so that the "ü" is not essential to locating the article i.e. that "Kubler-Ross" or even Kubler Ross" would turn up these articles? I searched here with no luck, went to Google, found the articles (the wrong spelling not being an impediment there)and discovered my error (or the error of my referencing source).

Biased and uninformed
The article is biased and uninformed. The Kubler-Ross model, the article's main point of interest, is never explained, and the biographical information provided is limited. The article does contain, however, an entire paragraph regarding a supposed sex scandal in the 80s. However, (judging by 10 minutes of internet research) that sex scandal is not mentioned in any obituary or news article other than the Slate article linked to by the page. Even if true (and the scandal may well be fictictious), the paragraph describing it is terribly written--the words were haphazardly copied and pasted from the original article without attribution.
In short, the article is in desperate need of attention and correction. -- October 9

- Since the above writer questions the reality of the sexual charlatanry at Kubler-Ross's "healing center," here are some other references to it:
The Economist obituary, Sep 2, 2004: http://www.economist.co.uk/displayStory.cfm?Story_ID=3150610
The Independent (London) obituary, Aug 28, 2004: http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_20040828/ai_n12797581
- The Wikipedia article (as it is on March 31 2006) does not appear biased in view of these obituaries. (It could certainly be expanded - feel free to.) If the healing-center scandal and other manifestations of her increasingly unconventional view of reality were purposely left out of the article, on the other hand, that would seem to constitute obvious bias.

- I disagree with the initial assertion made by 69.216.136.120. This article is about the person herself, not mainly about the "model." A separate article, Kübler-Ross model, was created on June 10, 2004 -- before this discussion began.

A paragraph larger than those on her actual work, and devoted to something essentially unrelated (the behavior of a co-worker), seems wildly inappropriate, or at least out of proportion, here. Hgilbert 01:18, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
Series of lectures
What does this mean?
- She began giving a series of lectures featuring terminally ill patients.
I can imagine at least two interpretations: She toured the lecture circuit with various terminally ill patients or she lectured about terminally ill patients. -- ke4roh 22:29, Aug 26, 2004 (UTC)
Unclear
What does this mean, "The naked medium's penis was being held when someone unexpectedly pulled the tape off the light" ?!?
Stages
Wasn't the stages thing only for patients facing their own death, not survivors of another person's death? - cniinc
