Thanks for the comment.

I hope I learn some of that grace and dignity you talk about. It’s so difficult to come to terms with our own mortality, especially when life is so… amazing.

I liked this post, very much.

I’ve never tried to imagine what the last minute of my own life might be like, but as a doctor I have spent a lot of time contemplating a patient’s last moment or thought or breath.

I have found that people who have lived richly and fully, and truly accepted and embraced life, go into their final moments with an enviable quiet grace and dignity – leading me to believe that it is true what they say: “we die as we lived.”

Thanks for the thought,

Libby
