Facing Death: Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, one of triplet sisters, devoted her life to death and dying and achieved world fame in the process. With her humane and down-to-earth approach, she has done much to destigmatize dying and to improve the treatment of terminally-ill patients of all ages. When the film was made, she lived in seclusion in the desert, old and tired. She died on August 24, 2004.
