The woman who revolutionised how we see death has died herself

The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Kübler-Ross, 78, explained death and dying

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross changed care of the dying

She was a natural triplet in a world before in vitro. She took a taboo and made it her life's work. She single-handedly inspired many to examine the stages of grief, inspired the hospice movement, and saw death as a natural consequence of life, not to be feared, but to be embraced. My favourite quote about her own impending death, which ironically followed slow, debilitating strokes, "I'm going to dance in all the galaxies."
