from The Heart of Hospice Podcast · host Helen Bauer BSN RN CHPN

We're honored to feature this intimate and warm conversation with Ken Ross, founder of the Elisabeth Kubler-Ross Foundation and son of Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. Ken describes the life and work of his mom, as well as her unconventional approach to the dying. Towards the end of Dr. Kubler-Ross's life, Ken was her caregiver. He describes how her open-hearted nature drove her to become one of the most widely known experts in the field of death and dying. Ken is carrying that work forward at the Elisabeth Kubler-Ross Foundation, providing education all over the globe. Her legacy continues on in grief support groups, workshops, and conferences that teach about death, dying, and the human experience.
