Welcome to the newly updated Elisabeth Kubler-Ross Foundation website!
We’re so glad you’ve come by for a visit.
Elisabeth, like many of you, had friends (and total strangers) who would stop in for a visit. They would chat and maybe she would share a witty or poignant story. She would often listen with care and would help where she could, ultimately sharing some insight over chocolate or tea. She was funny, irreverent at times, and yet was also incredibly tuned in, knowing what needed to be said in the moment.
So it is in this spirit that we invite you to take a closer look at the work of the Elisabeth Kubler-Ross Foundation. We’re glad you’ve found our Virtual Home!
While it is our goal to sustain Elisabeth’s incredible legacy as it pertains to her legendary work with end-of-life care, hospice, the 5 stages, and palliative care, it is also our mission to share with you the work she embraced about life and living! We’ll further develop our website content but for today, here’s the latest news from our corner of the world:
New YouTube content is available online. There are new YouTube videos of Elisabeth speaking on the topics of On Children and Death, On Unconditional Love, and On Spirituality.
New iTunes downloads will be available in June, 2010. Check back in the near future for further details.
Check out the new Store on our website! You’ll find new and interesting items for you, your friends and family or for your professional care center. Each purchase directly helps further the work of the Elisabeth Kubler-Ross Foundation.

Affiliate Programming
So many of you have written us over the past years, asking us how you, too, can start an Elisabeth House or Program. We’re listening! Therefore, by Fall 2010, the EKR Foundation will have in place an official affiliate program, which will authorize programs around the world to operate Elisabeth Houses. Check back with us. As we grow our program, we’ll post the information here.
