More From Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

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.
Fear Hate Opposites
Learning lessons is a little like reaching maturity. you're not suddenly more happy, wealthy, or powerful, but you understand the world around you better, and you're at peace with yourself. learning life's lessons is not about making your life perfect, but about seeing life as it was meant to be. copyright: elisabeth kubler-ross family limited partnership.
Powerful Maturity Perfect
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.
Pain Real Grief
We are all so bent and determined to get what we want, we miss the lessons that could be learned from life's experiences. 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. copyright: elisabeth kubler-ross family limited partnership.
Years Perspective Missing
It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth - and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had. copyright: elisabeth kubler-ross family limited partnership.
Love Life Family
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. copyright: elisabeth kubler-ross family limited partnership.
