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 Kübler-Ross' and Kessler's professional and personal experiences.

Peyton Salvage suffered the death of a loved one at an early age and learned that the way we approach death as a society does nothing to serve those struggling to cope with losing someone dear to them. Losing a loved one is one of the most traumatic and heartbreaking events in a person's life.

For as long as humans have existed, we have struggled when a loved one dies. Poets and playwrights have written about the dark cloak of grief, the deep yearning, how devastating heartache feels. But until now, we have had little scientific perspective on this universal experience. In The Grieving Brain, neuroscientist and psychologist Mary-Frances O’Connor, PhD, gives us a fascinating new window into one of the hallmark experiences of being human.

A comprehensive 10-step guide on the aftermath of grief and loss and how best to manage your life when you feel least inclined to continue living. In your darkest moments, when you feel most alone, isolated, and fragile - your loved one taken from you - it might feel like the pain is too much to bear. You know you can not go on like you are. Yet, thoughts of "moving on" and going back to "normal" feel dismissive and even disrespectful to the memory of your loved one.

POWERFUL. I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!
I’ve read and listened to many books on grief since my mom died, but this one is by far the best. This feels like a loving friend holding my hand, sitting with me through this overwhelming, crushing time that so few really understand. It continues to provide comfort and guidance during my most painful days when I wonder how I will survive this.
I listen to this incredible book over and over and have gifted it to my siblings and several friends. It has been by far the most positive part of my healing process. What a gift!

Will probably get something good to help
One of the keys in this book is everyone has a different experience of grief. There is a lot of good suggestions in here for various ways to handle that. But there is a lot of assumptions to. It felts like the book was written with women close to their mothers as the target audience. If you don’t fall into that category or a “recovering control freak” (book words not mine), you might feel a little lost, disconnected, or ignored by the author at times. The book though was a clear act of love and hope to help others grieving their loss.
The narrator was excellent and feel really understood the words of the author. When the author was talking suggestions, tone was practical. The need for patience, the tone was patient. When sad or angry…you get the idea. Jane just did a great job and will seek out books she narrates for sure.
Overall a helpful book but not for everyone. Also it will take some time to get through even if relatively short. Worth a try to listening for you lost your mother and are grieving. Maybe you will find something that can help you.
