"The clinical and the spiritual aspects of life's end can meet in the middle."
I knew we were connected. Mom and I also always talked about death and dying the same way we talked about anything else. It was never taboo or scary. Probably because I grew up playing in emergency rooms and ICUs and hospitals and nursing homes as we visited her aunts, uncles and mom. They all died young and mostly of cancer. It was always just a part of life...
Thanks for the restack. The dark humour we rely on professionally pervades EVERYTHING. It makes death quite anti-climactic!
