      Ten years after the death of Elisabeth K bler-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 K 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. This is "a fitting finale and tribute to the acknowledged expert on end-of-life matters" (Good Housekeeping).

    • Shortly before her death in 2004, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and her collaborator David Kessler completed the manuscript for her final book, which serves as a profound conclusion to her life's work. Over three decades earlier, Kubler-Ross's groundbreaking work transformed conversations around death, and this book aims to similarly influence our understanding of grief. While her earlier book focused on the theoretical aspects of death, this one applies the now-famous five stages—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—to the grieving process. It combines theory with inspiration and practical advice, drawing from both authors' personal and professional experiences, and includes brief, topic-driven stories. The content covers various aspects of grief, such as sadness, hauntings, dreams, coping mechanisms, healing, and even intimacy during mourning. Kubler-Ross reflects on her life, acknowledging the inevitability of death while emphasizing the importance of the life lived. In her final writings, she expresses the lessons learned about patience and the value of receiving love, underscoring the deeper purpose of her journey through both grief and life.
