About This Book
After experiencing a paralyzing stroke in 1995 and facing her own
mortality, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross (author of the renowned On Death and
Dying) realized she had some unfinished business to take care of. "I
wanted to write one more book, not on death and dying, but on life and
living," she explains. So she joined forces with coauthor David Kessler,
a leader in the field of hospice care, and together they wrote about the
lessons we can learn about living from those who are dying. As Kessler
explains in his introduction, "The dying have always been teachers of
great lessons, for it's when we are pushed to the edge of life that we
see most clearly."
In days gone by, the community would have gathering places where
children and adults listened to elders tell their stories of life's
challenges and the meaning they found in life. In lieu of that kind of
extended community, the authors offer this book, filled with stories
from the edge. Then, like fireside elders, they weave these personal
stories into themes, such as living authentically, the importance of
play, finding one's power, loving relationships, and self-compassion.
One cannot say enough about the lasting value of this beautifully
written and carefully rendered book. This is your chance to see life
from the 20/20 vision of hindsight. In the end what will we value most?
Here are some hints: the days we surrendered and became calm, the times
we healed that which was broken, and of course all the moments we opened
ourselves to love. --Gail Hudson
