Book Description

Release Date: Jun 5 2007
Elisabeth Kübler-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 Kuebler-Ross left us one last gift, and it's a masterpiece. Having illumined the subject of death, she has now illumined the subject of grief. 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

"Elisabeth Kuebler-Ross deserves to be remembered because her life and work have made this world a better place. On Grief and Grieving is a heartfelt tribute to all who have lost a loved one, from a woman who changed our lives by changing our relationship to death and dying. What a wonderful book Elisabeth and David have written."

-- Caroline Myss

5.0 out of 5 stars A most comforting and deeply empathic book for all those who grieve the loss of a loved one. Aug 12 2011
By Cynthia Danute Cekauskas, LCSW TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
When my father died of aortic stenosis four years ago today, I was devastated. I had not anticipated my loss to be felt as intensely, for my grief to be so deeply experienced, so raw and debilitating. Having been a Masters-degreed level social worker for 28 years I knew, however, that reading books about grieving, seeking out grief counseling and attending bereavement groups would be profoundly healing experiences for me. Dr Kubler-Ross's and David Kessler's book On Grief and Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Losswould be the sixth book on grieving that I would read and it turned out to be the most helpful. Their stating "we believe with all our hearts that even in death, our loved one still exists..and that "the body is just a coat, a suit of clothes that we wear during our lifetime...a shell, a cocoon..." helped me like you would not believe. I had suffered a great deal of guilt about not being as helpful and supportive to my father as I wish I could have been in his final days. The book touched my core by giving me permission to forgive myself, that regret is a part of loss and that "no matter how much you did for your loved one, how much you cared for them and loved them, there will always be something else." The book concludes that "the pain of loss is so intense, so heartbreaking BECAUSE in loving we deeply connect with another human being and grief is the REFLECTION of the connection that has been lost. Grief is the healing process that ultimately brings us comfort in our pain. That pain and our love are connected forever. To avoid the pain of loss would be to avoid the love and life we shared." I, therefore, STRONGLY recommend this book to ALL who grieve the loss of a loved one and have a need to be comforted. The Bible itself says "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." This book IS one of the ways that one can feel that comfort.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tool to help yourself or anyone who is grieving. Oct 20 2011
By Erika H.
Format:Paperback
When my father passed away suddenly a few years ago, I just couldn't process it. It was the first time anyone close to me had ever passed away, and I was feeling all these strange feelings, and thinking all these strange thoughts, and I just couldn't process it. This book helped me through it. It helped me understand that everything I was feeling and thinking was completely normal, and it helped me heal by helping me experience my grief fully. It helped me to stop being afraid of the grief and walk though it - experience it fully. Only by walking through it can you truly start down the path of healing.

Since then, I have shared this book with everyone I know who has lost a loved one, and each person has truly appreciated it. It's a great tool for yourself, if you are grieving, or as a gift for a friend or family member. I hope this review allows this book to reach more people. It's truly an amazing book.
