"Death is simply a shedding of the physical body like the butterfly shedding its cocoon. It is a transition to a higher state of consciousness where you continue to perceive, to understand, to laugh, and to be able to grow." ..Elizabeth Kubler-Ross.
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross is considered one of the most influential people and important minds of the last century. Her personal grit and determination forever changed how the world treats its dying. Her tireless efforts to assure that those who are dying be treated with compassion and dignity have now become the standard in end of life care. Dr. Ross taught the world that dying was actually about living and that our work here was to learn how to love unconditionally.
I had the privilege of hearing her speak and meeting and talking with her several times. Now that some friends and family members are nearing the end of their lives, I turned to her writings again and was comforted by her like an old friend.
