{"product_id":"on-grief-and-grieving-finding-the-meaning-of-grief-through-the-five-stages-of-loss","title":"On Grief and Grieving Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss","description":"Shortly before her death in 2004, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross and David Kessler, her collaborator, completed the manuscript for this, her final book. \u003ci\u003eOn Grief and Grieving\u003c\/i\u003e is a fitting completion to her work. Thirty-six years and sixteen books ago, Kübler-Ross's groundbreaking \u003ci\u003eOn Death and Dying\u003c\/i\u003e changed the way we talk about the end of life. Now \u003ci\u003eOn Grief and Grieving\u003c\/i\u003e will profoundly influence the way we experience the process of grief. \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eOn Death and Dying\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003ci\u003eOn Grief and Grieving\u003c\/i\u003e applies these stages to the process of grieving and weaves together theory, inspiration, and practical advice, all based on Kübler-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. \u003cbr\u003e \"I know death is close,\" Kübler-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.\" \u003cbr\u003e In one of their final writing sessions, Kübler-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.\" \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eOn Grief and Grieving\u003c\/i\u003e is Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's final legacy, one that brings her life's work profoundly full circle.","brand":"Simon and Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55025719181385,"sku":null,"price":9.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5336\/3785\/files\/17105763482452.jpg?v=1764787740","url":"https:\/\/morebetterbooks.com\/products\/on-grief-and-grieving-finding-the-meaning-of-grief-through-the-five-stages-of-loss","provider":"More Better Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
