Welcome to the Elisabeth Kubler-Ross website! This year marks several significant milestones in terms of Elisabeth’s life and legacy. 2009 is the 40th anniversary of the publication “ON DEATH AND DYING”, Elisabeth’s groundbreaking classic. Her book continues to be the best selling book in the field of Psychology and Thanatology.

We continue to be amazed at Elisabeth’s following. In March 2009 alone, almost 20,000 of you from 24 countries visited Elisabeth’s website! We are grateful for your continued interest in Elisabeth’s work and legacy

We were very excited to have launched a new book, Tea with Elisabeth at this year’s National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) conference in Washington DC! We would like to thank Don Schumacher and everyone with the NHPCO team for making this possible!

Over 1200 conference attendees received a complimentary copy of Tea With Elisabeth, courtesy of Mumms, a US software company serving the hospice industry. Mumms also sponsored the two-day book signing event which featured Elisabeth's son, Ken Ross, signing copies of Tea With Elisabeth. Thank you so much to everyone at Mumms for the wonderful support of Tea With Elisabeth.

A big thank you as well, to our friends at Deyta for their generous sponsorship of the first ever photo exhibition on the life of Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. Fifty prints taken from Elisabeth’s family albums and the collections of Mal Warshaw and Ken Ross were shared with the attendees, who represented hospices from all over the country and Africa. It was a wonderful opportunity as well, for many, many people to share their stories on how Elisabeth impacted their lives personally and/or professionally.

Last but not least, we would like to thank everyone at Quality of Life Publishing Company for the great job they've done in producing this wonderful book.

After Elisabeth’s death in 2004, the Elisabeth Kubler-Ross Foundation was formed and incorporated as a not-for-profit organization. Like Elisabeth, the mission of the EKR Foundation is simple, yet profound: “To build upon the groundbreaking legacy of Elisabeth Kubler-Ross by confronting death and inspiring life.” The EKR Foundation is accomplishing this mission through education, research and services.

In her lifetime, Elisabeth touched the lives of millions and millions of people around the world who were faced with the challenges of living and dying well. Through the work of her Foundation, Elisabeth continues to touch the lives of millions more by distributing her works around the world, as well as starting international EKR groups. Our new Mexican group in Monterrey, has been working with the Mexican government to bring palliative care to the entire country.

We know that in this difficult economic climate it is not easy to ask you to contribute to Elisabeth’s Foundation.

Elisabeth’s influence continues to be so broad and deep. People around the world have and continue to be touched directly or indirectly by her work. We see this by worldwide groups that are teaching her philosophy, the visitors to her website, letters her Foundation and to her son Ken, etc.

We also believe that Elisabeth would be gratified to know that her Foundation was supported by ordinary people with extraordinary hearts.

So we ask, if you or someone you know was touched by Elisabeth’s work, please help us carry forward her work and legacy. Click here to make a tax deductable donation to the EKR Foundation.

We sincerely thank you for your interest and continued support. As we approach the 5th anniversary (August 24th, 2009) of Elisabeth’s transition, the importance of her legacy grows. She understood, as we do, that ordinary individuals, working together, CAN change the world in extraordinary ways!
