Elisabeth Kubler-Ross Quotations

For years, I have been stalked by a bad reputation. Actually, I have been pursued by people who have regarded me as the 'Death and Dying' Lady. They believe that having spent more than three decades in research into death and life after death qualifies me as an expert on the subject. I think they miss the point.

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.

I only believe in what I see and hear with my own eyes and ears.

Any natural, normal human being, when faced with any kind of loss, will go from shock all the way through acceptance.

If people would get in touch with their spirits, they would be able to heal, emotionally and physically.

We often assume that if we are good people we will not suffer the ills of the world.

Death is not painful. It is the most beautiful experience you will have.

The truth does not need to be defended.

Love is really the only thing we can possess, keep with us, and take with us.

I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is no death the way we understood it. The body dies, but not the soul.
