A normal human life includes periodic incidents of grief. This complex of physiological and psychological responses is a natural response to loss and should usually be allowed to run its course. The manifestation of grief can be as unique as the individual expressing it, but there are several factors that repeatedly appear.
In her 1969 seminal work "On Death and Dying," Elisabeth Kbler- Ross presented the popular five elements of grief model. Frequently seen in people diagnosed with terminal diseases, the stages are: denial ("This can't be happening to me now"), anger ("This is all wrong"), bargaining ("All I want is three more good years"), depression ("It's hopeless, so why make an effort?"), and acceptance ("This is my fate"). These elements do not occur in any set order, and not ev...

Ever since Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton conceded defeat and endorsed Sen. Barack Obama on June 7, I really did try hard to follow Mrs. Clinton's urgings and to move beyond the fifth stage of grief to be enthusiastic about the Obama candidacy.

A number of historically significant figures have made noteworthy comments about dancing. Albert Einstein remarked, "Dancers are the athletes of God." German philosopher Nietzsche commented, "I do not know what spirit of a philosopher could more wish to be than a good dancer. For dance is his ideal. Every day I count wasted in which there has been no dancing. I would believe only in a God that knows how to dance." Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, author of the book On Death and Dying and recently deceased, stated her one regret is that she didn't dance enough in this life.

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.
