Messages to Dr. Kubler-Ross & Her Family
Collected from our Thank You Form
|
 | I think it was in 1983 that I first talked with
Elisabeth. Our son had committed suicide and I heard speak on the TV in
Seattle. I was fortunate in being able to go to a retreat in Campbell
river, Canada. I want Elisabeth to know how she saved my life and our
marriage. She is a saint, and even though I did not think the retreat
"was for me" I did go. I have lived as close to her words as possible
ever since. How she came to know the pain a mother goes through is
beyond me. I had thought only some one who had gone through this could
understand. I have shared her books with many people and shared my
experience with any one in need. I trained and became a hospice
volunteer and grew as a person and became better for having known her. I
know Elisabeth had a stroke and I would like to be able to send her my
love and thanks. I am now 64 years old thanks to her, I would have ended
my life back then, it was just too much pain. I love you Elisabeth, god
bless you.

| I get so jealous every time I realize that such
wonderful things happen in other countries and not in Greece. Still the
subject of death and dying children seems to be accompanied with a taste
of taboo. Whenever I express my wish to work with dying children, I
realize that there aren't any organizations to help me do so. But even
if we had such a safety net, the families do everything they can to keep
such conditions as secret as possible. Anyway, enough for me. Thank you
for being there for those who need you the most.","Thank you for
teaching me through your books, the meaning of life.. Thank you for
helping me deal with my own fears about death.. Now I know that all I
have to do, is to live fully every day and just enjoy the ride being
(for the moment) in peace with myself. God bless you

| Margaret...our CEO is retiring from our
organization...this month. Kubler-Ross is the reason why she became a
hospice nurse. She has inspired Peg and myself as well for many years.
It would mean the world to Peg if Dr. Kubler-Ross could send along a
message to her as she retires from years of service to hospice pt's. Peg
told me she met Dr Kubler-Ross many years ago at a convention she was
speaking at. It was Pegs job to escort her around , and settle her into
her room in the hotel. She will never forget that meeting. If well
wishes from the Dr. could be sent along it would be presented to her at
her retirement party in a few weeks. Or even an email to wish her well.
Peg and I recently discovered it was Kubler-Ross who drew us both into
nursing and we both share a kinship because of this.

| I
have had a NDE [near death experience] on June 18-19 2001. Since
then I am still experiencing unusual phenomena everyday, including,
angels singing, clairaudience, clairvoyance, lights around me,
telepathic conversations and visions of light body ghosts. I do not
believe I am schizophrenic nor do I have an history of this. I pulled a
demon from the depths up towards an explosion of white light, it was
tinted in gold and silver, it was stunning and I was humbled with
reverence. It was the epitome of love and peace. If only people knew
this, they could be comforted before their own deaths.
Although I did not attend the Conference I wish to Thank Dr Kubler-Ross
for raising awareness about the after life. Death is not the end and
should not be feared. I will welcome it when it is my time again. It is
important that all those that deal with death, especially doctors and
nurses should understand the passing on of the spirit and soul. It would
indeed console many loved ones left behind.

I am a Graphic Designer so it is easy for me to create
images of what I have seen. Attached is a re-creation of the light. This
image however, could never encompass the emotion, love and greatness of
the actual event of experiencing it. I could not see the complete edges
of the light in my peripheral vision during the experiencing because it
was so great in size. So I have just interpreted the completeness in
this digital drawing. The tips of the light rays emanating from its
centre were coated in gold and silver.

Again it is difficult to convey this in the
digital drawing. I was humbled with reverence during the experience and
felt as though I had been on my knees in a prayer position. Within the
limited conceptual context available to us, I would say that I was
Christed or ordained and then sent back.
