News of the passing of Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. She wrote in her book "On Death and Dying -What the Dying have to teach Doctors, Nurses, Clergy and their own Families" of the stages of grief : denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. She was also spokesperson for palliative care.
Abraham Verghese writing in the WSJ about Dr. Kubler-Ross says "(On Death and Dying) has a wonderful passage on what the dying can teach the living (in the medical profession) - You don't have to have a cure to heal someone...". A wonderfully written tribute to Dr. Kubler-Ross.
