When I came to this country in 1958, to be a dying patient in a medical hospital was a nightmare. You were put in the last room, furthest away from the nurses' station. You were full of pain, but they wouldn't give you morphine. Nobody told you that you were full of cancer and that it was understandable that you had pain and needed medication.

Those who learned to know death, rather than to fear and fight it, become our teachers about life.

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

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross Quotes
