Description:
One of the most famous psychological studies of the late twentieth century, On Death and Dying grew out of an interdisciplinary seminar on death, originated and conducted by Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. In On Death and Dying, Dr. Kübler-Ross first introduced and explored the now-famous idea of the five stages of dealing with death: denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. With sample interviews and conversations, she gives the reader a better understanding of how imminent death affects the patient, the professionals who serve the patient, and the patient's family, bringing hope, solace, and peace of mind to all involved.

Helps you understand they dying...,not yourself - I was looking for how to deal with my own feelings after being 24 and watching my mother die of lung cancer. This book helps you understand how the dying deal with death. It is interesting....I found out what kind of dying person my mother was (but she had already passed). I dealt with her dying how I knew how to and not how she wanted to deal with it. So I would suggest you read this before they die so you know how to console them. It doesn't really help you for after they pass because then they aren't there for you to help them.

A Primer on Grief - This book is an excellent primer for anyone who wants to begin to understand grief. After my daughter Alexis died at the age of 29, I read On Death and Dying again to help me understand my grief and to gain perspective.
