S4E25 - Encore Series for the Holidays — A Conversation with Ken Ross

As the holidays approach, many people feel the quiet resurgence of grief — memories growing louder, empty chairs at the table, and the tender ache of “what ifs” and “if onlys.” In this rerun episode, we revisit Claire’s conversation with Ken Ross, son of Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross and Founder of the EKR Foundation.

Together, they explore the true scope of Elisabeth’s pioneering work — beyond the five stages — into palliative care, hospice development worldwide, grief education, and her extraordinary legacy as a voice for the dying and those who love them.

This episode is a grounding, compassionate companion for anyone navigating grief during the holiday season.

In this episode:

  • The real meaning behind the “five stages”

  • Why Elisabeth stopped teaching the stages — and how media distorted them

  • Her role in building hospices around the world

  • Cultural barriers to palliative care and global end-of-life access

  • Personal stories from Ken’s life with his mother

  • How the EKR Foundation continues her mission today

If this conversation brings you comfort, please subscribe for free on YouTube, Apple, or Spotify — and share it with someone who may need a gentle resource this season.

Holiday Blessings from Dying Your Way — may you feel loved, supported, and never alone on your path.
