I found the article "The Myth of the Stages of Dying, Death and Grief" on pgs 37-41 in Vol 14 No 2 VERY satisfying. I always thought the Kubler-Ross thing was a little fishy....but I didn't want to be an asshole.

Junior Skeptic

Bound into every issue of Skeptic, Junior Skeptic magazine is an engagingly illustrated science and critical thinking publication for younger readers.

Written for both the young and the young at heart, each issue invites readers to consider in depth the background, concepts, and arguments surrounding a major paranormal claim (such as the Bermuda Triangle, or Bigfoot).

With Junior Skeptic, young readers are finally able to consider these controversies with all the facts in front of them — simple, bottom-line, and jargon-free.
