About death and dying. Kybler-Ross E.

Elizabeth Kybler Ross wrote the book “On Death and Dying” in 1969, first formulating five stages of grief in it: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. A separate chapter of the book is devoted to each of the stages. Since then, on the basis of this scheme, thousands of scientific works have been written that applied it to a variety of situations: from organizing the work of hospices to corporate governance.

Cubler-Ross examined the topic of death and dying in the broadest sense, expressing ideas about how important it is for the dying man not to be alone at the last but such important stage of life; How to help patients come to terms with the diagnosis and how to support those who care about them - medical personnel and family.
