“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
– Dr.Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, M.D. (July 8, 1926 – August 24, 2004) was a Swiss American Psychiatrist, a pioneer in near-death studies and the author of the groundbreaking book “On Death and Dying (1969), where she first discussed her theory of the five stages of grief.
I’d like to dedicate this quote to my late aunt Veronique. She was one of those beautiful people.
