What a wonderful book Elisabeth and David have written." -- Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing "Elisabeth Kübler-Ross left us one last gift, and it's a masterpiece.

She and grief expert David Kessler have written a modern classic, the kind of book that all of us will want to keep on our bookshelves because we know it speaks to our deepest hearts." -- Marianne Williamson, author of A Politics of Love: A Handbook for a New American Revolution
