Elisabeth Kubler-Ross Loved Quotations

When we grow older and begin to realize that our omnipotence is really not so omnipotent, that our strongest wishes are not powerful enough to make the impossible possible, the fear that we have contributed to the death of a loved one diminishes - and with it, the guilt.

Those who learned to know death, rather than to fear and fight it, become our teachers about life.

Dying is nothing to fear. It can be the most wonderful experience of your life. It all depends on how you've lived.

The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not "get over" the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same nor would you want to.
