Eventually, life ends in death. For all of us.
Embracing, accepting, and learning from the death of someone we love is challenging, heart-wrenching, and so, so hard. It is also beautiful, instructive, and soul-touchingly true.
So go. Be with your dying person. Visit. Talk. Laugh. Cry. Love them until their final moment.
Because, in the end, being with your dying person may be their best and final gift — to you and them, both.
via Go. Be With Your Dying Person. – P.S. I Love You
