The authors explain how Kubler-Ross's famous "Five Stages of Dying" apply directly to mourners themselves. In this, her final book, completed shortly before her death, the author's own experiences and spiritual insight explain how the grief process helps survivors live with loss.
Long description
Elisabeth Ku bler-Ross's On Death and Dying changed the way we talk about the end of life. Before her own death in 2004, she and David Kessler completed On Grief and Grieving, which looks at the way we experience the process of grief. Just as On Death and Dying taught us the five stages of death -- denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance -- On Grief and Grieving applies these stages to the grieving process and weaves together theory, inspiration, and practical advice, including sections on sadness, hauntings, dreams, isolation, and healing.
Review
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross left us one last gift, and it's a masterpiece. She and grief expert David Kessler have written a modern classic, the kind of book that all of us will want to keep on our bookshelves because we know it speaks to our deepest hearts. -- Marianne Williamson
