“People dying of COVID can be 'dying' for a long time. People dying of cancer often are dying for a long time. But with cancer, and other terminal illnesses, it's acceptable to move from treatment into hospice...We give them morphine...we meet death half-way.”
― When We Lost Touch
― When We Lost Touch
“I felt great empathy for my friend, as one form of cancer after another emerged to challenge him. I felt sympathy for his suffering that surely clawed at his daily routines, always active and busy, but he rarely verbalized complaints while courageously challenging his archenemy. He met pain and physical decline with 600-calorie workouts; he discarded anxieties somewhere along innumerable running trails; he faced death by running through life at full stride.”
― Questions of the Spirit: The Quest for Understanding at a Time of Loss
