| Originally in hardcover called The Rights of the Dying
A nationally recognized expert in the field of loss and grief, David Kessler passionately believes everyone has important needs to be attended to at the end of life: the need for hope, the need to express emotions, the need to participate in care; the need for honesty, the need for spirituality, and the need to be free of physical pain. In The Needs of the Dying, he presents 16 needs that we or our loved ones will experience in the last chapter of our lives. Examining the physical and emotional experiences of life challenging illnesses, Kessler provides a volcabulary for communication with doctors, with hospital staff, with each other, and–at a time when the right words are exceedingly difficult to find–he helps readers find a way to say goodbye. Using comforting and touching stories about Michael Landon and Anthony Perkins, he provides information to help us meet the needs of a loved one or ourselves at this important time in our lives. |

| Is this really how I want to live my life? Each one of us at some point asks that question. The tragedy is not that life is short, but that we often see only in hindsight what really matters.
In this life-changing book, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross and David Kessler guide us through the lessons we need to learn so that we can live life to its fullest in every moment. Many years of working with the dying have shown them that certain lessons come up over and over again. Some of these lessons are enormously difficult to master but even the attempt to understand them can be deeply rewarding. Here, in fourteen accessible chapters, from The Lesson of Authenticity to The Lesson of Happiness, the authors reveal the truth about our fears, our hopes, our relationships, and above all, about the grandness of who we really are. |
