Ten years after the death of Elisabeth K bler-Ross, this commemorative edition of her final book combines practical wisdom, case studies, and the authors' own experiences and spiritual insight to explain how the process of grieving helps us live with loss. Includes a new introduction and resources section. Elisabeth K bler-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. This is "a fitting finale and tribute to the acknowledged expert on end-of-life matters" (Good Housekeeping).
Looking For Healing From Pain is a book of words of healing, comfort, and words that will make you laugh. There must be healing from pain that we experience on this life journey. No one wants to feel pain at anytime. But we do whether in words or deed, yes we feel discomforted and want someone or some word to be spoken so we can feel better.
Words have the power to build us up and give us the source of encouragement, motivation and inspiration we need when facing challenges and hard times in life. Sometimes all it takes is that little bit of faith to ignite the spark of hope in our hearts as we keep the fire within us burning and the will to survive going strong. Words To Heal is a collection of quotes, thoughts, and poetry that I put together to help others heal, to empower them, to inspire them, to motivate them and to offer a positive glimpse of life as we see that there's so much more to life then we know and that anything is possible when we believe.
