People are like stained glass windows:
they sparkle and shine when the sun’s out,
but when the darkness sets in,
their true beauty is revealed
only if there is light within.
~ Elizabeth Kubler-Ross ~

A Teacher's Reflections 
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross was a remarkable woman. Her work and her outlook on living and dying have helped so many people.
Thank you, Liz. I do not know her, yet this post struck me in a powerful way.
I knew of her work when my dad was training to be a hospital chaplain and my mother studied for the Order of Saint Luke.
My goodness. Thank you for making this connection. You were lucky to to know of her work. So were your parents. I keep going back and reading her quotation. It speaks to me.
You’re welcome, Jennie.
A new quote to me, Jennie, and so true! 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
Yes, new for me, and very true. Best to you, Pete.
I love this one, Jennie. ❤
Thank you. I feel the same way. ❤️
I love this –
It’s one of the very good ones!
Light within… something to aspire to!
Indeed!
Just beautiful 🙂 x
🥰
The ultimate truth!
Yes!
So true… Thanks for sharing!
😍
Fair enough!
🙂
I took a death and dying class once and one of Elizabeth Kubler Ross’s books was our main text.
My goodness! She certainly had words of wisdom.
How gorgeous a simile is that!
Indeed!
That is so true!! Those who go through hard times and then shine like a diamond are really precious.
Indeed!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful quote, Jennie! You are one of the persons making the youngsters shine. 🙂 Michael
