Just as On Death and Dying taught us the five stages of death - denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance - Dr Elisabeth Kiibler-Ross and David Kessler's landmark 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.

This new edition celebrates the life and work of Dr Elisabeth Kiibler-Ross a decade after her death and features a new foreword by Maria Shriver, who reflects on the legacy of On Grief and Grieving and the important role the book has played in her life.

On Grief and Grieving is a rich trove for anyone experiencing grief - a beacon shedding light, comfort and hope.

Empathy and hope are offered in this book, built on a foundation of introspection and inspiration. Readers are brought to new understanding about suicide. Survivors are encouraged to rebuild lives and put the past where it rightfully belongs: behind them.

A luminous, true story, "Name All the Animals" is an unparalleled account of grief and secret love: the tale of a family clinging to the memory of a lost child, and of a young woman struggling to define herself in the wake of his loss. As children, siblings Alison and Roy Smith were so close that their mother called them by one name, Alroy. But when Alison was fifteen, she woke one day to learn that Roy, eighteen, was dead.
Heartbreaking but hopeful, this extraordinary memoir explores the after-math of Roy's death: his parents' enduring romance, the faith of a deeply religious community, and the excitement and anguish of Alison's first love -- a taboo relationship that opens up a world beyond the death of her brother.

A growing number of people have become aware of the importance of saying, "I love you" and "good-bye" to those on the threshold of death. As human beings, we are all fragile, and the fear of dying is something everyone shares. When we face death, we face an uphill climb to conquer this fear, but it is a journey that can be made successfully, especially with the support of those we love. As a hospice chaplain and spiritual mentor, Garnette Arledge has helped hundreds of people through this time of approaching death, which she refers to as "Angel's Eve." It is a time in which the fear of dying is replaced with the calming presence of "Angels"--the children, parents, partners, and dear friends who fill these last moments with memories and forgiveness. On Angle's Eve is a guidebook for these comforters of the dying. Arledge shares the tools and skills that help make this a time of happiness and fulfillment rather than one of fear and anxiety. Believing that one's final moments are in the hands of the Angels opens up new vistas. When someone you love begins that last journey, you'll want to be one of those Angels. On Angel's Eve, with its message of hope, shows you how.

No matter the reason or degree of severity, if a child you love is grieving, the guidelines examined in this thoughtful book can make a difference.

The findings presented here are also applicable to care of children with life-threatening illness. Topics discussed include: children's concepts of death; emotional impact of disease; perspectives on children's death and dying; and coping with a child's death.
