We need to teach the next generation of children from day one that they are responsible for their lives. Mankinds greatest gift, also its greatest curse, is that we have free choice. We can make our choices built from love or from fear. – Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Ive told my children that when I die, to release balloons in the sky to celebrate that I graduated. For me, death is a graduation. – Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Those who have the strength and the love to sit with a dying patient in the silence that goes beyond words will know that this moment is neither frightening nor painful, but a peaceful cessation of the functioning of the body. – Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
I say to people who care for people who are dying, if you really love that person and want to help them, be with them when their end comes close. Sit with them – you dont even have to talk. You dont have to do anything but really be there with them. – Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
