Grief, Forgiveness, Acceptance, and Rejection by Dr. Daniel Brubaker
Healthcare providers and the public had no education about how to conduct end of life grieving until 1969 when Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross published her experiences with hospice patients who were at the end of their life. She was a Swiss-American psychiatrist, a pioneer in near-death studies, and author of the internationally best-selling book, On Death and Dying (1969). In her book, Kübler-Ross discusses her theory of the five stages of grief, now known as the “Kübler-Ross model”. Since then, grief has been expanded into different areas other than end of life.
