Description:
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.

Best book on grief I have read - As a physician, I have had much experience with death and dying over the past 25 years and I was no stranger to Kubler-Ross's work. However, when I lost my own mother last year,the grief felt overwhelming. This book was the best book I read and really helped me to understand the different ways in which we express (or don't express) our grief. It is more powerful because she was facing death as the book was written. I now recommend it to friends, family and patients. It is easy to read and comprehend even if you are in the midst of a great loss.

On Grief and Grieving - Of all the books I devoured after my husband passed away, this one was most helpful to me. While many of Kübler-Ross' books focus on the dying, this book is for those of us who are left behind to grieve and find our way through an unimaginable and indescribable loss.
On Grief and Grieving begins by describing the five stages of grief which include denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. These can last for different periods of time, or we can go through all of them in one day. This book helped me to understand the path of grief that I was walking. For the first time, I could identify with every feeling and situation described. It was a great comfort to know that my feelings were normal and that I was not alone. Grief is a part of the healing.

A Compassionate Primer - On Grief and Grieving is a must read for anyone who is grieving and wants to understand why they are feeling the way they are. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross understands the grief process as a scientist and as a human being. Though she focuses more on death from long-term illness than on traumatic loss, anyone who has lost a loved one can gain perspective from this book.
