Quatrième de couverture :

In a landmark new book, completed shortly before her death, the iconic author of On Death and Dying teams with David Kessler to explain how her vastly influential Five Stages of Dying apply directly to those dealing with loss.
In her first seminal book, On Death and Dying, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross identified five stages of dying: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. In the years that followed, it became evident that these stages applied not only to the process of accepting death, but also to accepting other difficult and catastrophic life experiences, such as losing a loved one.
In On Grief and Grieving, Kübler-Ross and Life Lessons co-author David Kessler revisit the five stages in order to create a deeply empathetic and accessible guide for those left behind. With compassion and understanding, the authors deliver insights and advice designed to help readers rebalance their lives and find the courage to continue.
Featuring sections on sadness, hauntings, dreams, coping, isolation, children and healing, On Grief and Grieving fuses practical wisdom with spiritual insight as it forges a path to wholeness.
