Synopsis

The world-famous bestseller that brought new insight, hope and understanding to millions now available on CD!

Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross created her classic seminal work, On Death and Dying, to offer us a new perspective on the terminally ill. It is not a psychoanalytic study, nor is it a "how-to" manual for managing death. Rather, it refocuses on the patient as a human being and a teacher, in the hope that we will learn from him or her about the final stages of life. On Death and Dying examines the attitudes of the dying and the factors that contribute to society's anxiety over death. It closely looks at the five stages of death--denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance--and how the dying and living deal with them.

In addition, this program offers multi-voice readings of some of the most revealing interviews Dr. Kübler-Ross conducted with her patients. By hearing some of the most intimate and sensitive feelings expressed by those men and women, it is hoped that we may learn more about death and lessen our own anxieties about the natural course of our lives. At its heart, On Death and Dying is a truly remarkable program about communication--offering insight on how to talk with and listen to the terminally ill, and truly hear their fears, hopes, angers, and anxieties.

The main message is a well-known one, it is not tragic to die, it is tragic to never fully live, and to be dead inside while still living. The chapters in here what to prevent living......more

Goodreads review by Gretchen on July 06, 2022

I’ve never been inclined to pick up a self-help/spirituality book before, but Yoongi and Jungkook were seen reading this and the BTS boys never miss. This book could definitely be cheesy and trite at times, but this is the most I’ve ever bookmarked/marked up a book. The last paragraph put a lump in......more
