Now, I know this shouldn't be funny....

...but it is.

Headline on Yahoo! this morning:
'Death and Dying' author Kubler-Ross dies

Say it out loud.

*****
But, more seriously, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross totally reconceptualized the dying process and the context in which we can put the death experience as we or our families and freinds face it. Amazing. Truly.

Hi! I'm a prospective nursing student who just attended UCSF MEPN info session yesterday. I've been reading your blog off and on and am delighted to hear the experiences of someone like you! Your program's philosophy for socializing people into the nursing world sounds very intelligent, bold, and creative. I kept nodding my head while the man talked to us.

Best wishes in this new chapter in your life! How do you deal with the cost? In-state student tuition is $23,000 for the first year. But out-of-state tuition (yours) is $38,000, he said! URK.

How did you decide on UCSF over other schools?

Wow! I read her book about two years ago when I was attending a different college. :( The class was called, "Death and Dying".

How was that class? I bet it was amazing. We had a class at the college I went to called "Birth and Death" which dealt with the whole life cycle.... I might even be working in Labor & Delivery and Hospice Care next term. How wild would that be? The full circle.
