On Grief and Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss

Description

Ten years after the death of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, this commemorative edition of her final book combines practical wisdom, case studies, and the authors’ own experiences and spiritual insight to explain how the process of grieving helps us live with loss. Includes a new introduction and resources section.Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’sOn Death and Dyingchanged the way we talk about the end of life. Before her own death in 2004, she and David Kessler completedOn Grief and Grieving, which looks at the way we experience the process of grief.Just asOn Death and Dyingtaught us the five stages of death—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—On Grief and Grievingapplies these stages to the grieving process and weaves together theory, inspiration, and practical advice, including sections on sadness, hauntings, dreams, isolation, and healing. This is “a fitting finale and tribute to the acknowledged expert on end-of-life matters” (Good Housekeeping).
