5.0 out of 5 stars "On Life After Death" is captivating, comforting, 13 April 1999

By A Customer

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross relates her lessons learned at the bedsides of of literally hundreds of dying people in her touching book, "On Life After Death." This pioneer in the study of death and dying shares first-hand stories that simultaneously chill and comfort. Kubler-Ross makes it clear that none of us -- even if we die in the midst of the desert -- dies alone. She shows how we are greeted by loved ones who preceded us in death (even if by moments). I frequently give this comforting work to bereaved friends whose grief is tempered by Kubler-Ross'powerful words. I can't seem to keep a copy on hand -- they all go to those who need its message of hope.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautfully comforting book on death and dying, 22 Jan 2008

By	pepemia (scotland) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This is one of my favourite books about death and its process.Although the book is very small it contains such words of comfort and wisdom.I actually like the size of the book as it adds to its appeal for me as sometimes people who are still grieving can not manage to concentrate well and this book is easily read without being overwhelming.
It is split into 4 different sections - 1-Living & Dying, 2-Death does not exist , 3-Life,death and life after death . 4 -Death of a parent which are four esays that Kulber-ross wrote.Out of all her books I find this by far the best as it so assecable and also the most down to earth.
I find this great because you can read each small section that suits you at that time .
This is a wonderfully comforting book for those who have been bereaved and I find it especailly insightful for those who have not been with their loved ones at their death, or have experienced a sudden bereavement.
Kuber -ross speaks so fluentily with great insight into the importance of living of death and what happens when someone dies. She suggests that when we die time and distance no longer matter and that communication still exists between the living and dying.
Her wealth of experience of being with people when they die and trying to understand what death is shines through in this book.After you read this book you are filled with hope and enlightment which with abereavement books is so unusual.
This is definately one of my most treasured books and I recommend it to anyone who is trying to understand death or has been bereaved.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book has changed my life, 14 Aug 2008

By	Paul Bacon (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: On Life After Death (Paperback)

I bought this book for self-help purposes, as my fear of dying was becoming more and more of a problem for me and was beginning to affect my life adverseley. I have to admit, I never thought it would have as much of an effect on me as it did.

I was not (and am still not) a "religious" person. I do not buy into organised religion at all. Please do not be put off if you are in a similar situation. Kubler-Ross does make quite a few references to "God". But she is not talking about God in a biblical sense. Instead she is refering to a higher power. A "spiritual", rather than a "religious" force that we are all a small part of. I opened this book an atheist. I finished it more as one who is open to the possibility of there being something beyond that which we understand.

A word of warning: this book is short. I think this is a good thing as it can be re-read many times with little time or effort. Its length does mean that it will inevitably not answer all questions. Personally, I shall be reading more of Kubler-Ross' works to further my understanding.

Having read the book, I am still not 100% convinced that life after death exists. But I am now definitely open to the possibility. Kubler-Ross has made me question the world around me and my place in it and has opened my eyes to fantastic possibilities. She has given me real hope that my future does not need to be filled with fear about something I have very little control over. Death may not be that scary, after all.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth It
When the book arrived I was suprised at how slim it was.

It would have been even smaller had the author not kept repeating herself throughout. Read more
