Work detailsOn Death and Dying by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (1969)
None. A study of how people react towards death. The commonly known 'five-stages' model is outlined here, and many case studies and examples and described in depth. Morbid and necessary reading, to understand the psychology of our own grief and extinction. (  ) HadriantheBlind | Mar 30, 2013 |  This is the original work that first introduced the idea of the five stages of dealing with death: denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. AmronGravett | Feb 11, 2013 | Rated: B Classic work becoming a little dated with the passage of time and shifts in social norms. Her research and writings were in the 60's. Today, the awareness or disinterest in dying and death make it less taboo; however, we all will face it in our own way someday. Experiencing the death of my daugher and parents as well as various friends over the years allowed me to relate to many situations she revealed. While I was familiar with the five stages, what I didn't know was her observation that Hope transcends all stages. "The one thing that usually persists through all these stages is hope. Just as children in Barracks L 318 and L 417 in the concentaration camp of Terezin maintained their hope years ago, although out of a total of about 15,000 children under fifteen years of age only around 100 came out of it alive. The sun has made a veil of gold So lovely that my body aches Above, the heavens shriek with blue Convinced I've smiled by some mistake. The world's abloom and seems to smile. I want to fly but where, how high? If in barbed wire, things can bloom Why couldn't I I will not die! 1944, Anonymous "On a Sunny Evening" ( ) jmcdbooks | Jan 28, 2013 | At times I couldn't put this book down even though I had tears filling up my eyes. What a compelling book and how I wish I'd read it before my dad passed away. "Death belongs to life as birth does… The walk is in the raising of the foot as in the laying of it down." - Tagore (  ) shandysgirl0517 | Apr 11, 2012 | THE book on the subject, which should be read in a positive way by all. An amazing woman. ( ) scubasue59 | Feb 5, 2012 | no reviews | add a review
