On Death and Dying: What the Dying Have to Teach Doctors, Nurses, Clergy and Their Own Families

5 Hours
One of the most important psychological studies of the late twentieth century, On Death and Dying grew out of Dr. Kübler-Ross’s famous interdisciplinary seminar on death, life, and transition. In this remarkable book, Dr. Kübler-Ross first explored the now-famous five stages of death: denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Through sample interviews and conversations, she gives readers a better understanding of how imminent death affects the patient, the professionals who serve that patient, and the patient's family, bringing hope to all who are involved.

Meet Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, a remarkable person who became a beloved and respected expert on the topics of death and dealing with illness. Her insights have brought comfort to countless people who are facing their own health challenges or have lost a loved one. Through her many books and her involvement in starting the hospice movement, Dr. Kubler-Ross has touched the lives of those dealing with terminal illnesses, including children, AIDS patients, and the elderly.

This book helps people understand and cope with the difficult emotions that come with losing someone close.
