      On Grief and Grieving

      Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss

      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.

      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.

      V této knize, která pojednává výhradně o životě a jeho prožívání, spojila Elisabeth Kübler Rossová síly s Davidem Kesslerem – společně nás provázejí řadou praktických i duchovních „životních lekcí“, které musíme zvládnout, abychom dokázali naplno a beze zbytku prožívat každý okamžik svého života. Za léta své práce s umírajícími autoři zjistili, že určité lekce a zkoušky se v lidských životech opakují stále znovu. Často bývá velmi obtížné úspěšně jimi projít – ale dokonce i jen snaha o to, abychom jim porozuměli, pro nás může být velkým přínosem a obohacením. Autoři této knihy ve čtrnácti srozumitelných kapitolách odhalují pravdu o našich obavách, nadějích, vztazích, ale především o velikosti a vznešenosti naší existence.
