As long as we are moving through life and have not become stuck, we are healing.
We often unknowingly re-create losses in an attempt to work through them, to do them better, to finally heal them. If we've been hurt by loss, we may find ways to protect ourselves against loss: we detach, we deny, we rescue others, we help them with their hurts so we don't have to feel ours, we become so self-sufficient that we will never need anyone.

Additional quotes by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Estoy convencida de que para tener experiencias místicas no es necesario vivir como un ermita en la montaña ni estar sentado a los pies de un gurú de la India. Cada ser tiene un cuadrante físico, emocional, intelectual y espiritual

This time, I heard a loud voice, literally heralding the reality that my daughter was never coming back. This time the depression had no walls, ceiling, or floor. It felt even more endless than before and, once again, I had to deal with this old familiar guest. I learned the only way around this storm was through it.” •
