On Death and Dying (Abridged): What the Dying Have to Teach Doctors, Nurses, Clergy and their Own Families Audiobook

" Awesome read... helps put life and death into perspective... And helps one to understaind the process of dying "

" A book that was ahead of its time when it first came out. Wonderful insights from the dying. "

" I read this for a Death and Dying class a few years ago. While the subject matter was depressing I think I have a better handle on the concept etc.. because of this book and the class "

" I have read this book twice and got more out of it the second time than the first. Even though it was written in 1969, the information is not dated. A few references to the Vietnam War, but 99 percent of the information is as good today as it was then. "

" I can't think of anyone who is unfamiliar with this book (and if, like me, you loved the film "All That Jazz," you can quote the stages of grief verbatim). "

" One of several good books to have around, explore on the topic of dealing with loss. "

" A classic, apparently, for anyone dealing with loss. Particularly interesting to those dealing with older loved ones with terminal illness. Educational...a little emotionally detached though. "

" Good to read a classic, but obviously dated. "

" I remember taking this course in college, this was the textbook used. Fascinating. "

" I came to understand a little of what the dying person might be experiencing. I found the interviews way long and tedious so much so that I haven't finished it. "

" I think it was somewhat well written and didn't have many problems with it other than the topic. I feel like saying there are only 5 steps to grieving is very constricting and isolating. As someone who has grieved and is still grieving, I see death as more complicated than simply being in 5 stages. "

" I read this for a class years ago and was reminded of it when a GR friend added it. "

" Where our country's discussion of death began...interesting if you are a nerd like me about this subject...but dry if you are just a "dabbler" "

" Read this for my Social Work program. Have used this information quite a bit when not only talking about death, but other relationships changing. "

" It was years ago that I read this book and it is a helpful source for anyone suffering the loss of loved ones. Well written, useful and applicable in situations of loss other than death as well. "

" A classic on grief, death, and dying. I highly recommend for anyone wanting to better understand the grief process. "

" I read this while ago when nursing in palliative care. Elisabeth became my hero at the time and helped me understand what was happening around me. "

" This is an incredible landmark book about near-death experiences. Dr. Kubler-Ross broke the ground on this incredible and essential philosophical/psychological experience. "

" I read this book many years ago. It was straightforward and treated this sensitive topic in a manner which was considered novel. I feel that it is a sensible approach to the grieving process. "

" Classic work. Although alternative theories on grief do exist, I find Kubler Ross to have great insight into the process, even if it does not follow the linear path she describes. "

" It sucks to be so Western stereotypical, where's Hospice when you need them? (Don't forget they get PAID!!) "

" Sometimes in order to understand an idea you have to be older. "

" interesting; a classic for the field but probably dated "

" Doing a re-read. "

" Please read this book. It's not just a discussion of death (which seems depressing & maudlin). It gives you a new perspective on the next phase of life. "

" This book was so true to life. It helped me so much when I lost someone close to me.. it goes through the stages of death and things that are likely to be experienced. One of the best books I ever read. "

" another fantastic self-help. "
