On Grief and Grieving

Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss

De: Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, David Kessler

Narrado por: David Kessler, Samantha Desz

A modern classic text on the crucial role of grieving in dealing with loss, by the author who first explored the now famous five stages of grief—On Grief and Grieving is an invaluable blend of Kubler-Ross’s practical wisdom, case studies, and her own experiences and spiritual insight.

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. This is “a fitting finale and tribute to the acknowledged expert on end-of-life matters” (Good Housekeeping).

Excellent, comprehensive

Helpful and real

My husband and I have endured alot of loss in a short amount of time and this book really helps to put things into perspective.

Eye opening

I loved this book! It helps you realize what grief and grieving are all about and that it isn’t a bad thing. There are ways they have brought out that make it sound so different than how I looked at it previous to listening to this.

Understanding

This story is great for those who are going through grief and trying to understand the process and it’s great for people trying to understand those going through grief..

Currently grieving

This book helped me heal more than I thought it would have. I lost my paternal grandmother a couple of months ago, but she was also a mom to me as well since my biological mother left when I was 13. I have never felt a pain so intense in my life. This book made me process my emotions better and is definitely worth the time to listen.
