On Death and Dying
death, a new dawn
One of the most important psychological studies of the late twentieth century, On Death and Dying grew out of Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's famous interdisciplinary seminar on death, life, and transition. In this remarkable book, Dr. Kübler-Ross first explored the now-famous five stages of death: denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Through sample interviews and conversations, she gives the reader a better understanding of how imminent death affects the patient, the professionals who serve that patient, and the patient's family, bringing hope to all who are involved.
Dr. Kübler-Ross was named one of the "One Hundred Most Important Thinkers of the Century" by Time Magazine in 1999. The book On Death and Dying was included as one of the "One Hundred Most Important Books of the Century."
Dr. Elisabeth Kübler Ross has the distinction of writing the first best selling book on a topic that no one wanted to discuss. On Death and Dying, is still required reading for many medical, nursing, psychology programs and college death and dying courses.
Death is moving to a more beautiful thing, “Death is simply a shedding of the physical body like the butterfly shedding its cocoon. "
These were the words of joy every day Dr. Elisabeth Kübler Ross pronounced by the bedside of their patients.
The scientific experiments by Dr. Kübler Ross can confirm the existence of life beyond death. It is a transition to a higher state of consciousness where you continue to perceive, to understand, to laugh, and to be able to grow.
This book shows us that death is a rebirth, a new dawn.
