Elisabeth Kubler-Ross Quotes

I’ve told my children that when I die, to release balloons in the sky to celebrate that I graduated. For me, death is a graduation Picture Quote #1

It is difficult to accept death in this society because it is unfamiliar. In spite of the fact that it happens all the time, we never see it Picture Quote #1

Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from Picture Quote #1

Live, so you do not have to look back and say: ‘God, how I have wasted my life Picture Quote #1

Watching a peaceful death of a human being reminds us of a falling star; one of a million lights in a vast sky that flares up for a brief moment only to disappear into the endless night forever Picture Quote #1

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 don’t even have to talk. You don’t have to do anything but really be there with them Picture Quote #1

We need to teach the next generation of children from day one that they are responsible for their lives. Mankind’s greatest gift, also its greatest curse, is that we have free choice. We can make our choices built from love or from fear Picture Quote #1

As far as service goes, it can take the form of a million things. To do service, you don’t have to be a doctor working in the slums for free, or become a social worker. Your position in life and what you do doesn’t matter as much as how you do what you do Picture Quote #1

It is not the end of the physical body that should worry us. Rather, our concern must be to live while we’re alive - to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are Picture Quote #1

There are no mistakes, no coincidences. All events are blessings given to us to learn from Picture Quote #1

Denial helps us to pace our feelings of grief. There is a grace in denial. It is nature’s way of letting in only as much as we can handle Picture Quote #1

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen Picture Quote #1

Lots of my dying patients say they grow in bounds and leaps, and finish all the unfinished business. But assisting a suicide is cheating them of these lessons, like taking a student out of school before final exams. That’s not love, it’s projecting your own unfinished business Picture Quote #1

How do geese know when to fly to the sun? Who tells them the seasons? How do we, humans know when it is time to move on? As with the migrant birds, so surely with us, there is a voice within if only we would listen to it, that tells us certainly when to go forth into the unknown Picture Quote #1

Death is but a transition from this life to another existence where there is no more pain and anguish. All the bitterness and disagreements will vanish, and the only thing that lives forever is love Picture Quote #1

We point to our unhappy circumstances to rationalize our negative feelings. This is the easy way out. It takes, after all, very little effort to feel victimized Picture Quote #1

There is no joy without hardship. If not for death, would we appreciate life? If not for hate, would we know the ultimate goal is love? At these moments you can either hold on to negativity and look for blame, or you can choose to heal and keep on loving Picture Quote #1

We run after values that, at death, become zero. At the end of your life, nobody asks you how many degrees you have, or how many mansions you built, or how many Rolls Royces you could afford. That’s what dying patients teach you Picture Quote #1

I have learned there is no joy without hardship. There is no pleasure without pain. Would we know the comfort of peace without the distress of war? Picture Quote #1

I look for mystery and try to decipher it while knowing it is an impossible task. I look for memory, where Mystery lies Picture Quote #1

Dying is nothing to fear. It can be the most wonderful experience of your life. It all depends on how you’ve lived Picture Quote #1

I always say that death can be one of the greatest experiences ever. If you live each day of your life right, then you have nothing to fear Picture Quote #1
