"It is difficult to accept death in this society because it is unfamiliar. In spite of the fact that it happens all the time, we never see it"

This quote by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross speaks with the problem of accepting death in our society. Death is something that is unknown to us, and yet it is something that occurs all the time. We are constantly surrounded by death, yet we never ever actually see it. This detach in between the truth of death and our perception of it can make it tough to accept. We are so used to seeing life and growth that death can be a shock to our system. We may struggle to come to terms with the reality that death is a natural part of life, and that it is something that we will all experience at some point. This quote serves as a suggestion that death is a part of life, and that we should not be afraid to accept it.
