*Ø* Vale Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

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. The only incontrovertible fact of my work is the importance of life.

I can't let Tuesday's passing of the remarkable Dr Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (b. July 8, 1926) go unmentioned here. I've placed a brief obit at August 24 in the Book of Days.
