Una pionera en los estudios sobre experiencias cercanas a la muerte, esta autora se adentra en la experiencia humana de afrontar la mortalidad. Su obra innovadora introdujo un modelo fundamental que describe cinco etapas del duelo, un marco que ha dado forma a nuestra comprensión de la pérdida. A través de sus perspicaces análisis, ilumina los complejos viajes emocionales y psicológicos que emprenden los individuos al enfrentar su propia muerte o la de un ser querido. Su enfoque distintivo y profunda empatía han influido significativamente en el discurso sobre las experiencias al final de la vida y el duelo.
After transforming the way that the world thinks about death and dying, Elisabeth Ku bler-Ross, now 71 years old and facing her own death, tells the story of her extraordinary life in this reflective memoir. Having taught the world how to die well, she now offers lessons on how to live well. Her story is an adventure of the heart-- powerful, controversial, inspirational-- and a fitting legacy of a powerful life.
Las experiencias científicas de la doctora Kübler-Ross permiten confirmar que la muerte es un pasaje hacia otra forma de vida. Nos hace comprender que la experiencia de la muerte es casi idéntica a la del nacimiento, puesto que se trata del inicio de otra existencia, el paso a un nuevo estado de conciencia en el que se continúa experimentando, viendo y oyendo, comprendiendo y riendo, y en el que se tiene la posibilidad de continuar el crecimiento espiritual. Gracias a ella sabemos que una luz brilla al final y que, a medida que nos aproximamos a esa luz blanca, de una claridad absoluta, nos sentimos llenos del amor más grande, indescriptible e incondicional que podamos imaginar.

A collection of four essays on death, dying, and the afterlife.
Ours is a death-denying society. But death is inevitable, and we must face the question of how to deal with it. Coming to terms with our own finiteness helps us discover life's true meaning. Why do we treat death as a taboo? What are the sources of our fears? How do we express our grief, and how do we accept the death of a person close to us? How can we prepare for our own death? Drawing on our own and other cultures' views of death and dying, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross provides some illuminating answers to these and other questions. She offers a spectrum of viewpoints, including those of ministers, rabbis, doctors, nurses, and sociologists, and the personal accounts of those near death and of their survivors. Once we come to terms with death as a part of human development, the author shows, death can provide us with a key to the meaning of human existence.
An investigation into the part that death and dying play in society and in the minds of individuals. Elizabeth Kuebler-Ross's other books include "Living with Death and Dying", "Questions and Answers on Death and Dying", and "On Children and Death".
