It combines theory with inspiration and practical advice, drawing from both authors' personal and professional experiences, and includes brief, topic-driven stories. The content covers various aspects of grief, such as sadness, hauntings, dreams, coping mechanisms, healing, and even intimacy during mourning. Kubler-Ross reflects on her life, acknowledging the inevitability of death while emphasizing the importance of the life lived. In her final writings, she expresses the lessons learned about patience and the value of receiving love, underscoring the deeper purpose of her journey through both grief and life.
