Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, MD (1926-2004)

 Only the body dies at death.
Consciousness lives on eternally.
The driving meaning and purpose of life
is to love one another.

Several members of the Eternea collaboration knew Elisabeth Kübler-Ross personally, attended her groundbreaking workshops, and were profoundly affected by her wisdom, spirit and humor.

We honor her as one of the most important trail-blazers in the field of Death and Dying, in the study of Near-Death Experiences, and in the creation of the Hospice movement worldwide.
