Family Matters: St. Patty's Day

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

"The pain passes, but the beauty remains." Pierre Auguste Renoir

"Children who die young are our greatest teachers." Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

"You don't heal from the loss of a loved one because time has passed. You heal because of what you do with that time." Carol Crandall

“They that love beyond the world cannot be separated by it. Death cannot kill that which never dies." William Penn

"The more deeply we love, the more deeply we mourn." Joanne Cacciatore

"Who better to softly bind up the wound of one, than he who has suffered the same wound himself?" Thomas Jefferson
