Book Review: Dealing with Death and Dying
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross believed that repressed negative emotions are the killers in our society. When dealing with patients she believed in being honest with children who needed to talk about their emotions or their impending death. If you have ever wondered how to communicate with someone who is dying then this book provides many answers especially when you are dealing with the death of a child.
While reading "The Tunnel and The Light" I expected the book to be about near-death experiences. While there is some discussion of this phenomenon it would be incorrect to say that is what this book is about. Instead you will read about some of Elisabeth Kubler-Ross' nightmare experiences as a child and gain a deeper understanding why she was called to work with the dying. I was surprised at how much humor she used in her lectures. By reading this book you realize how human Elisabeth Kubler-Ross could be and also how wise and compassionate she was while she graced this earth. If you have ever wondered about the little illustrated book she drew for a dying child it is included at the end of this book.
If you take any lesson away from this book it will probably be to be more understanding, more loving and more compassionate when dealing with the dying. This would be an excellent book for doctors and nurses and anyone who works in a hospice. It might also bring a new understanding of death to families who are living with a dying patient.
While Elisabeth Kubler-Ross discounts negative near-death experiences I think it is better to read a few books that show both sides of the story so you are totally prepared for what you might experience. It is my belief that we choose the hellish or heavenly experience while alive and in this world. For more information on this and other near-death topics please see:
