The 5 Stages of Grief & Loss
Elisabeth Kubler Ross

"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge, myth is more potent than history, dreams are more powerful than facts, hope always triumphs over experience, laughter is the cure for grief, love is stronger than death."

~ Robert Fulghum, 1937-

"Even his griefs are a joy long after to one that remembers all that he wrought and endured."

~ Homer, 800 BC - 700 BC The Odyssey
