I read this book for two reasons. First, I am working my way through the lesser-known works of EKR's oeuvre in preparation for a class I am co-teaching on death in the Eastern Orthodox tradition at the Orthodox School of Theology (Toronto). Second, my father-in-law is currently in the middle of a long battle with cancer that doesn't have a good prognosis. I was looking for a practical book that would help me navigate communication, and after attempts with less-than-stellar books, I finally just
This is one of those books you read and then almost immediately forget. I read this about 2005. I found it on my shelves after my dog and my Dad died recently and so I thought I'd read it again, since I couldn't remember this from the first time around.Only about half of this book is by Kubler-Ross. The other sections are written by other folks. Why they're not given credit as co-authors, I don't know. I guess Kubler-Ross was the big moneymaker at the time (about 1980.)I was hoping to find some
This short book is really only half by Kubler-Ross. Two of its four chapters are written by others, and the last chapter is transcription of an interview with Kubler-Ross. As a result, I think that the usefulness of the book is somewhat undermined; the book can't seem to determine if it is written for medical professionals or a general audience, nor can it figure out whether it is scholarly or not. I think the most interesting chapter was written by Martha Pearse Elliott, which talked about how
Very thorough and helpful, but some articles are inevitably more helpful than others. Overall very good though! if you work in hospice or homecare dealing with death alot this book is worth reading great insight on coping and how to handle the ending process. actually gonna buy this book for reference
Fascinating! A little dry and research-y, but it's got important insights for dealing with death and dying. It focuses a lot on terminally ill young children.
The data and writings of Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross are really perceptive and affecting, because they show the living what can be possible versus what just is, as well as how life can and should be lived: to the fullest and most meaningful way possible. And with all Kubler-Ross's previous books, Living with Death and Dying is no exception. In this, her fifth book, she looks at the progression of palliative care by way of parent-pediatric involvement (see Section III, Parent Care: Total Involvemen...
How to BookLiving with Death and Dying: How to communicate with the terminally ill, written by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, MD, is a 181 page How-To book published by Touchstone in 1997. It was written for grades 9+, ages 14- adult. The author teaches us how to use her tools for understanding how the dying tell their innermost knowledge and needs. She describes the urgency for meaningful dialogue in assisting patients to pass with peace and dignity. We learn how important we are to the person dying an...
Everybody can find something useful from this little piece on psychiatry. The book talks about how to communicate with people who are about to die and mentally prepare the family members for the inevitable. Sounds like a bit gloomy topic but it's factual nonetheless.
One of the most important books of our time. Read it years ago.
What the dying have to teach us. More about denial, acceptance, and attitudes of people that are terminal.
great book for anyone wanting to support someone with terminal cancer
