Traditional footnote style with numerous sources cited. A 5 page paper which examines various aspects of death as presented in the book Death, Mourning, and Caring by Robert Marrone. In this examination we discuss how our perceptions of death have changed through the years, and how we fear and ignore the reality of death more than we, as a society and people, did in the past. We discuss Marrone s book in relationship to Elisabeth Kubler-Ross stages of dying, Marrone s phases of mourning and other various aspects which illustrate the alterations we go through in regards to death, dying, and grieving.
