"We need time to move through the pain of loss. We need to step into it, really get to know it, in order to learn." - Many social media grief experts falsely claim that Elisabeth’s “Stage Theory” was linear and that she wanted you to complete five neatly ordered steps to rush your way into acceptance. Obviously… this is not what she taught. Quote by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

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

Elisabeth’s quotes can now be found on cups, cards, and magnets from the Quotables company in the USA. Soon we hope to make them available in Spanish as well. https://www.quotablecards.com

" I want to love you without clutching,
appreciate you without judging,
join you without invading,
invite you without demanding,
leave you without guilt,
evaluate you without blaming
and help you without insulting.
If I can have the same from you,
then we can truly meet and enrich each other." - Virginia Satir

“The Five Stages – denial, anger, bargaining,

“The Five Stages – denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance – are a PART of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one(s) we lost. They are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling. But they are not stops on some linear timeline in grief.”
Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

“Birth is not a beginning; death is not an end.

“Birth is not a beginning; death is not an end. There is existence without limitation; there is continuity without a starting point.”

Since April 2020, when we began work in Guatemala,

Since April 2020, when we began work in Guatemala, our main objective has been to promote Dr. Elisabeth's model of compassionate living in our region. Starting work in the midst of the COVID pandemic helped us greatly to spread the word through the virtual media that we had, this has allowed us to reach a large part of the Guatemalan population.
Since the beginning of our management as a chapter of the EKR Foundation, our dream has been to have a Hospice in Guatemala, but the reality in our region was that the population did not know the hospice model or thanatology and the topic of Palliative Care was a purely medical issue, so we decided to start a project in three phases that I detail below.
Phase 1:
In this phase we are creating the first Compassionate Care House (2020-2022), this house will provide temporary accommodation (no more than 4 days) to people who are undergoing treatments such as chemotherapy, dialysis or some outpatient treatment and who have economic resources. limited population who live in the interior of the country and must travel to the capital city in search of treatment.
In this House we will provide transportation, food and emotional support to the sick person and their main caregiver. We are also creating an educational model where the main caregiver will be able to dignify her work through the continuing education program.
The house has a lodging capacity of up to 14 people and we hope that it will begin work in October of this year (2022).

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross who came to be called (with affection and respect) the “death and dying lady” receives the posthumous honor of having a street in Switzerland named after her. Her son, Ken Ross who heads the Kubler Ross Foundation, writes to give us the news from the city council.

Elisabeth-Kubler-Ross“In recognition of her world famous work, the Council of Meilen gave the Meilemer honorary citizenship on March 10, 1998 to Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross who became the first woman with this honor. The Council now uses the opportunity to name the new road in the area close to her former home – Kübler Ross Street. Thus, the municipal council would like to express their respect and it’s tribute to the pioneering work of Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross and give a fixed place in miles for our Meilemer honorary.

What is the Change Curve?
The Change Curve, or Kübler Ross’ Change Curve® was created by the Swiss-American psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in 1969. It depicts the Kübler-Ross Stage theory in an adapted manner.

However, the utility of this model also extends to the corporate world, to better understand the emotional turmoil faced by an employee due to any change initiative at the workplace, such as a new software implementation or business process improvement.

Change practitioners may implement this model to identify any barriers to change projects early on and strategize accordingly. The Kübler-Ross Change curve® is used by thousands of companies around the world. It is a registered trademark of the Kübler-Ross Family Limited Partnership.
