Tony’s wife, Carol, would always get mad at - Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

How, then, do we know when a patient is giving up “too early” when we feel that a little fight on his part combined with the help of the medical profession could give him a chance to live longer? How can we differentiate this from the stage of acceptance, when our wish to prolong his life often contradicts his wish to rest and die in peace? If we are unable to differentiate these two stages we do more harm than good to our patients, we will be frustrated in our efforts, and will make his dying a painful last experience.

You are alone. There is a wall now where none existed before, standing between you and the rest of the world.

Somos culpables de haber destruido muchos dones de la naturaleza y de haber perdido toda espiritualidad.
