Stories of Overcoming III
Listening through Friendship Benches
“The most Beautiful People are those who
have known defeat, known suffering, known loss,
and have found their way out of the depths.
These persons have an understanding of life
that fills them with compassion and a deep loving concern.
Beautiful People
do not just happen.”
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
