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.

More From Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

And after your death, when most of you for the first time realize what life here is all about, you will begin to see that your life here is almost nothing but the sum total of every choice you have made during every moment of your life. your thoughts, which you are responsible for, are as real as your deeds. you will begin to realize that every word and every deed affects your life and has also touched thousands of lives. copyright: elisabeth kubler-ross family limited partnership.
Death Real Choices
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 is very important that you only do what you love to do. you may be poor, you may go hungry, you may lose your car, you may have to move into a shabby place to live, but you will totally live. and at the end of your days you will bless your life because you have done what you came here to do. 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. copyright: elisabeth kubler-ross family limited partnership.
Death Moving Car
Grief is not just a series of events, stages, or timelines. our society places enormous pressure on us to get over loss, to get through grief. but how long do you grieve for a husband of fifty years, a teenager killed in a car accident, a four-year-old child: a year? five years? forever? the loss happens in time, in fact in a moment, but its aftermath lasts a lifetime. copyright: elisabeth kubler-ross family limited partnership.

People after death become complete again. the blind can see, the deaf can hear, cripples are no longer crippled after all their vital signs have ceased to exist. copyright: elisabeth kubler-ross family limited partnership.

Apparently we've got open borders. we've got people in this country all over the place that could be part of cells. after 9/11 happened, you have to understand, leadership and law enforcement after 9/11, they really got reamed for doing a horrible job of preventing it when in many people's minds it was preventable.
