There Are Dreams Of Love, Life, And Adventure In All Of Us. But We Are Also Sadly Filled With Reasons Why We Shouldn't Try. These Reasons Seem To Protect Us, But In Truth They Imprison Us.

Lots Of My Dying Patients Say They Grow In Bounds And Leaps, And Finish All The Unfinished Business.

Many Of My Aids Patients Discovered That The Last Year Of Their Lives Was By Far Their Best. Many Have Said They Wouldn't Have Traded The Rich Quality Of That Last Year Of Life For A Healthier Body. Sadly, It Is Only When Tragedy Strikes That Most Of Us Begin Attending To The Deeper Aspects Of Life. It Is Only Then That We Attempt To Go Beyond Surface Concerns-what We Look Like, How Much Money We Make, And So Forth-to Discover What's Really Important.

Mourning Can Go On For Years And Years. It Doesn't End After A Year, That's A False Fantasy. It Usually Ends When People Realize That They Can Live Again, That They Can Concentrate Their Energies On Their Lives As A Whole, And Not On Their Hurt, And Guilt And Pain. Copyright: Elisabeth Kubler-ross Family Limited Partnership.

In The So-called Civilized World, Children Are Physically, Sexually And/or Emotionally Abused; They Are The Leaders Of Our Future. When Children Are Raised In Such A Hostile And Violent Environment, How Can We Hope For A Harmonious Future For All People Of This World? In This Light, The Purpose Of Human Life Is To Achieve Our Own Spiritual Evolution, To Get Rid Of Negativity, To Establish Harmony Among Our Physical, Emotional, Intellectual And Spiritual Quadrants, To Learn To Live In Harmony Within The Family, Community, Nation, ..treating All Of Mankind As Brothers And Sisters. Copyright: Elisabeth Kubler-ross Family Limited Partnership.

The Five Stages - Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, And Acceptance - Are A Part Of The Framework That Makes Up Our Learning To Live With The One We Lost. They Are Tools To Help Us Frame And Identify What We May Be Feeling. But They Are Not Stops On Some Linear Timeline In Grief. Copyright: Elisabeth Kubler-ross Family Limited Partnership.

Grief Is Real Because Loss Is Real. Each Grief Has Its Own Imprint, As Distinctive And As Unique As The Person We Lost. The Pain Of Loss Is So Intense, So Heartbreaking, Because In Loving We Deeply Connect With Another Human Being, And Grief Is The Reflection Of The Connection That Has Been Lost. We Think We Want To Avoid The Grief, But Really It Is The Pain Of The Loss We Want To Avoid. Grief Is The Healing Process That Ultimately Brings Us Comfort In Our Pain. Copyright: Elisabeth Kubler-ross Family Limited Partnership.

There Are Only Two Emotions: Love And Fear. All Positive Emotions Come From Love, All Negative Emotions From Fear. From Love Flows Happiness, Contentment, Peace, And Joy. From Fear Comes Anger, Hate, Anxiety And Guilt. It's True That There Are Only Two Primary Emotions, Love And Fear. But It's More Accurate To Say That There Is Only Love Or Fear, For We Cannot Feel These Two Emotions Together, At Exactly The Same Time. They're Opposites. If We're In Fear, We Are Not In A Place Of Love. When We're In A Place Of Love, We Cannot Be In A Place Of Fear. Copyright: Elisabeth Kubler-ross Family Limited Partnership.

There Is Not Much Sense In Suffering, Since Drugs Can Be Given For Pain, Itching, And Other Discomforts. The Belief Has Long Died That Suffering Here On Earth Will Be Rewarded In Heaven. Suffering Has Lost Its Meaning. Copyright: Elisabeth Kubler-ross Family Limited Partnership.

Whether You Know It Or Not, One Of The Most Important Relationships In Your Life Is With Your Soul. Will You Be Kind And Loving To Your Soul, Or Will You Be Harsh And Difficult? Many Of Us Unknowingly Damage Our Souls With Our Negative Attitudes And Actions Or By Simple Neglect. By Making The Relationship With Your Soul An Important Part Of Your Life, However, By Honoring It In Your Daily Routine, You Give Your Life Greater Meaning And Substance. Use Your Experiences-all Of Them-as Opportunities To Nourish Your Soul! Copyright: Elisabeth Kubler-ross Family Limited Partnership.

There Is Within Each One Of Us A Potential For Goodness Beyond Our Imagining; For Giving Which Seeks No Reward; For Listening Without Judgment; For Loving Unconditionally. Copyright: Elisabeth Kubler-ross Family Limited Partnership.

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.

Otherwise, You Will Live Your Life As A Prostitute, You Will Do Things Only For A Reason, To Please Other People, And You Will Never Have Lived. And You Will Not Have A Pleasant Death.
