"According to my parents, I was supposed to have been a nice, churchgoing Swiss housewife. Instead I ended up an opinionated psychiatrist, author and lecturer in the American Southwest, who communicates with spirits from a world that I believe is far more loving and glorious than our own."
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross was a Swiss-born American psychiatrist and author who helped pioneer modern hospice and end-of-life studies. She is widely associated with the five stages model of grief presented in On Death and Dying.
