Truly excellent for someone looking for information on grief. Very humane and writing in a non judgemental way

Didn’t appreciate the heteronormativity and Christian undertones but Elisabeth Kübler-Ross is very wise and I cried all the way through
I won’t be rating this because I’m conflicted on the clash between foundational importance and the unfortunately amount of assumptions (culture, religion, gender, etc.) made in some premises. But it helped put language to experiences and helped me to feel the world a little bigger during the very isolating experience that grief can be.
kübler-ross and kessler are both phenomenal writers. they know how to write a book that everyone can understand.
another very good and interesting book about grief/grieving.

Fantastic insight into the process of grieving. Anyone dealing with death or loss (divorce?) should take the time to read this.
Written by the woman who came up with the five stages of grief, this book is endless wisdom of the process of grief and seeing it through to the end. To fully live out grief is to fully live, and the depth of grief reflects a great love that has ended.

This is a clear, beautifully written manual for someone who is grieving the death of a loved one, best read somewhere later in the first year after the the loss and revisited again and again. The authors are deeply informed by experience with others, and every single thought is backed up with a story illustration. This is a reference book more than a resource, something to come back to when death visits those you live and you wonder how best to support them.
