"The opinion which other people have of you is their problem, not yours." — Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Those who have the strength and the love to sit with a dying patient in the silence that goes beyond words will know that this moment is neither frightening nor painful, but a peaceful cessation of the functioning of the body.

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

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

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 those depths.

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

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.

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.

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.
