On Death and Dying: What the Dying Have to Teach Doctors, Nurses, Clergy and Their Own Families

A brilliant book by a woman who has dedicated her life to researching and serving the needs of terminally ill patients and their families. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross pretty much founded the conscious dying movement, which has brought a great deal of compassion and understanding into a modern world where the dying are often thrust into cold, compassionless institutions. Written in 1969, this is a classic book that still holds tremendous value after all these years.
