Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s On Death and Dying changed the way we talk about the end of life. Before her own death in 2004, she and David Kessler completed On Grief and Grieving, which looks at the way we experience the process of grief.
Just as On Death and Dying taught us the five stages of death—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—On Grief and Grieving applies these stages to the grieving process and weaves together theory, inspiration, and practical advice, including sections on sadness, hauntings, dreams, isolation, and healing.
In 'On Grief and Grieving', David A. Kessler explores the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. He explains that these stages are not linear and may not occur in a specific order. It's a great book to check out if you want to understand more about the grieving process.
Kessler emphasizes that grief is a personal journey and everyone experiences it differently. He encourages readers to allow themselves to grieve in their own way and time. This book is a must-read if you're looking for guidance on how to navigate through your own grief.
One of the key takeaways from 'On Grief and Grieving' is the importance of acknowledging grief. Kessler suggests that ignoring or suppressing grief can lead to more pain and suffering. So, take a look at this book if you want to learn how to deal with grief in a healthy way.
Kessler also explores the idea that grief can lead to personal growth. He suggests that while grief is painful, it can also be a catalyst for change and self-discovery. If you're interested in finding out how to turn your grief into a journey of self-discovery, this book is for you.
In 'On Grief and Grieving', Kessler discusses the role of love in the grieving process. He believes that our grief is a reflection of the love we had for the person we lost. This book is a great resource if you want to understand the connection between love and grief.
