{"product_id":"2940170456680","title":"On Grief and Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShortly 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 16 books ago, Kübler-Ross' groundbreaking On Death and Dying 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.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn Death and Dying\u003c\/i\u003e began as a theoretical audiobook, 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' 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\" \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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47100651274480,"sku":"2940170456680","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170456680_p0.jpg?v=1763803921","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170456680","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
