“With all our twenty-first-century sophistication, why do we still opt to take cover behind familiar, safe walls of conformity and denial, rather than opening up tot he idea that maybe death is not the demon we fear? She does not need to be lurid, brutal or rude. She can be silent, peaceful and merciful. Perhaps the answer is we don't trust her because we don't choose to get to know her, to take the trouble to in the course of our lives to try to understand her. If we did, we might learn to acccept her as an integral and fundamentally necessary part of our life's process.”
