ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In this groundbreaking and "poignant" (Los Angeles Times) book, David Kessler--praised for his work by Maria Shriver, Marianne Williamson, and Mother Teresa--journeys beyond the classic five stages to discover a sixth stage: meaning. In 1969, Elisabeth K bler-Ross first identified the stages of dying in her transformative book On Death and Dying. Decades later, she and David Kessler wrote the classic On Grief and Grieving, introducing the stages of grief with the same transformative pragmatism and compassion. Now, based on hard-earned personal experiences, as well as knowledge and wisdom gained through decades of work with the grieving, Kessler introduces a critical sixth stage: meaning. Kessler's insight is both professional and intensely personal. His journey with grief began when, as a child, he witnessed a mass shooting at the same time his mother was dying. For most of his life, Kessler taught physicians, nurses, counselors, police, and first responders about end of life, trauma, and grief, as well as leading talks and retreats for those experiencing grief. Despite his knowledge, his life was upended by the sudden death of his twenty-one-year-old son. How does the grief expert handle such a tragic loss? He knew he had to find a way through this unexpected, devastating loss, a way that would honor his son. That, ultimately, was the sixth stage of grief--meaning. In Finding Meaning, Kessler shares the insights, collective wisdom, and powerful tools that will help those experiencing loss. "Beautiful, tender, and wise" (Katy Butler, author of The Art of Dying Well), Finding Meaning is "an excellent addition to grief literature that helps pave the way for steps toward healing" (School Library Journal).

On suuri taito osata elää tässä hetkessä. Usein mietimme eilistä tai huolehdimme huomisesta ja unohdamme nauttia tästä päivästä. Vasta kun oivallamme, että aikamme täällä on rajallinen, havahdumme näkemään sen voiman, joka kätkeytyy tähän hetkeen. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross on kirjoittanut yhdessä David Kesslerin kanssa kirjan Elä tässä ja nyt, joka opastaa arjen kanssa kamppailevaa ihmistä elämän suurissa kysymyksissä: kuinka antaa anteeksi, kuinka rakastaa ja kuinka vapautua syyllisyydestä, suuttumuksesta ja pelosta. Elä tässä ja nyt auttaa meitä näkemään, miten voimme käyttää meille annetun ajan viisaammin ja elää onnellisempaa elämää. Sen viestinä on: älä odota, että saat katsoa viimeisen kerran merta, taivasta, tähtiä tai rakastettuasi. Mene katsomaan niitä nyt.

More twists than a corkscrew - and a double whammy at the end San Francisco lawyer Alex Sedaka is surprised when California governor Chuck Dusenbury offers eleventh-hour clemency to Sedaka's Death Row client Clayton Burrow - convinced to do so by the dying mother of the victim. But there is a condition: Burrow must reveal where he buried body. The problem: Burrow insists that he is innocent and claims that he was framed by the missing girl herself. Until then, Sedaka - who only recently took over the case - thought that Burrow was guilty. But now that Burrow has rejected the clemency offer, he is not so sure. Thus begins a race against time to unravel the mystery, aided by his secretary, an enigmatic legal intern and his own computer expert son. Alex finds evidence of school bullying, marital infidelity and even child abuse. But with the clock ticking down to Burrow's execution, Alex is frustrated at every turn by elusive evidence that casts doubt on Burrow's guilt, but is not enough to satisfy the rigorous requirements of the courts or the governor at this late stage. And as the execution looms ahead, the race turns frantic... and dangerous. Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Scott Turow and Harlan Coben, Mercy is the first in a series featuring San Francisco lawyer Alex Sedaka.
