My patients taught me not how to die, but how to live.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross Quotes
It is not the end of the physical body that should worry us. Rather, our concern must be to live while we're alive - to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are.
