David Kessler Libri

Un giorno a Louise Hay viene diagnosticato un cancro. Il responso dei medici è unanime: non le rimangono che pochi mesi di vita. Messa di fronte a questa tragica realtà, l'autrice ripercorre con il pensiero le tappe principali della sua vita e giunge alla conclusione che la malattia è il risultato di esperienze negative, rabbie represse, angosce non esternate. Da qui la convinzione che c'è un unico modo per sconfiggere il cancro che la sta minando e questo consiste nel rivoluzionare il proprio stile di vita, nell'adottare uno spirito ottimistico, nel vivere all'insegna dell'amore, nell'imporsi la volontà di guarire, e nel servirsi di tali atteggiamenti positivi come armi efficaci con le quali combattere le malattie e l'inquietudine interiore. Questa filosofia, apparentemente semplicistica, è stata alla base della completa guarigione di Louise Hay la quale, oggi, sana e ormai al sicuro dalla recidiva della malattia, dedica la propria vita all'assistenza del prossimo e aiuta chi si rivolge a lei a scoprire e a utilizzare le infinite potenzialità della mente.

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 David Kessler, her collaborator, completed the manuscript for this, her final book. On Grief and Grieving is a fitting completion to her work. Thirty-six years and sixteen books ago, Kubler-Ross's groundbreaking On Death and Dying changed the way we talk about the end of life. Now On Grief and Grieving will profoundly influence the way we experience the process of grief. On Death and Dying began as a theoretical book, an interdisciplinary study of our fear of death and our inevitable acceptance of it. It introduced the world to the now-famous five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. On Grief and Grieving applies these stages to the process of grieving and weaves together theory, inspiration, and practical advice, all based on Kubler-Ross's and Kessler's professional and personal experiences, and is filled with brief, topic-driven stories. It includes sections on sadness, hauntings, dreams, coping, children, healing, isolation, and even the subject of sex during grief. "I know death is close," Kubler-Ross says at the end of the book, "but not quite yet. I lie here like so many people over the years, in a bed surrounded by flowers and looking out a big window...I now know that the purpose of my life is more than these stages...It is not just about the life lost but also the life lived." In one of their final writing sessions, Kubler-Ross told Kessler, "The last nine years have taught me patience, and the weaker and more bed-bound I become, the more I'm learning about receiving love."

Exploring the theme of love as a healing force, this book delves into how deep connections can alleviate the suffering that accompanies loss. It highlights the transformative power of relationships, emphasizing that love provides solace and hope in the face of grief. Through poignant narratives, it illustrates how embracing love can lead to personal growth and resilience, ultimately guiding individuals through their darkest moments.
