Description

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's groundbreaking work explores what it means to face one's own mortality. First published forty years ago, this influential book has become an integral part of our understanding of bereavement and the human experience.

The five stages of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance - were first identified by Kübler-Ross in her work with dying patients at the University of Chicago. While these stages are now widely accepted as a response to any major life change, they can still evoke conventional attitudes and reticence that offer only fragile comfort.

This book gives a voice to those who have faced death, exploring what it means to them in their own words. A new introduction by Professor Allan Kellehear re-examines the book's influence on contemporary thought and practice, making it an ideal choice for anyone interested in bereavement or the five stages of grief.
