Responde a preguntas sobre la muerte y como acompañar a enfermos terminales y como gestionar las emociones propias. Esperaba un libro más general sobre la muerte y el duelo, esta bastante centrado en la experiencia personal de la autora.

Not finished with it yet. I started reading it before on death and dying- which was, admittedly very silly. But I really, really like the fact that she complied q and a sections from her lectures on her experiences. On a semi-personally level: I really admit the way she takes a lot of questions in stride. I'm not sure if Dr. Kubler-Ross was zen in real life but she definitely appears so in this book- some of the questions seem real snarky, cynical and downright angry at times. She just rolls with it.

I may have read this book many years ago. Regardless, there was nothing new here!

This is an accompaniment to the book On Death and Dying. However, it can very well be read independently too. The author provides answers to the questions she must have received overtime from various people when they or the ones they cared for were faced with death. The answers act as a guide for all to fall back to when facing similar situations.
Having picked this book at a time when a dear one happened to face a similar challenge, the answers proved to be of much assistance.

Anyone scared of going to hell? I read this as a young man in my twenties and it put me on the path to what eventually became atheism, by freeing me from the fear. I can say in all honesty that this is the one book that helped me become a happier, more confident, more open, more enquiring person.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross: 1, Catholic Church: 0.

I guess it would have been better if I'd have read On death and dying first; specially because I was looking for these books since two decades ago at least. Moreover, I wonder how much have changed the helping professions since it was written. Anyway, it made me think a lot in its central topic: my own approach to death and dying.

Its a very good brief reading, some questions tend to be repeated but in general enjoyable

This book is a great read for anyone who has experience death in their lives and is looking for some sort of explanation of what really happens toward the end of our lives.

this is a great, insightful book that remains relevant even today in 2013 imo, but i am curious as to how much has changed in the last 40 years since this and on death and dying were published and i can't seem to find anything to sate my curiosity

I read this a long time ago when nursing in palliatve care and Elizabeth Kubler-Ross became my hero!

I read this after my mom died. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross is a highly acclaimed author and I definitely recommend reading anything she has written.

This was a good personalized companion to the original book. Yes,some of the questions are ridiculous but they are posed by people. Some of the exchanges reveal Dr. Kubler-Ross' personal spiritual beliefs.
