Kubler-Ross was inspiring

On Sept. 4 the worldlaid to rest an amazing woman, someone whose passion, vision and commitment changed the way the world looked at death and dying. In her 78 years, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross taught us a lot about living and a lot about how we should make the most of every day, including our final ones.

During the last two years of her life as a hospice patient with VistaCare, she served as an inspiration to the staff that cared for her and to everyone she encountered. She reminded us of how beautiful, dignified and purposeful those final days can be, and she reminded us that hospice can bring control, empowerment and choices to those facing a terminal illness.

Throughout the world, Elisabeth will be remembered as a champion, an activist and an advocate. I'll remember her for the lessons she taught us, and for the great honor she extended to us by trusting us with her care. And most of all, I'll remember her as the pioneer who brought more worldwide momentum and attention to the hospice movement.

May we all live better, throughout all the days of our lives, because of her tremendous contributions.
