Quote Of The Week- On Dying with Dignity

Death is not the ultimate tragedy of life. The ultimate
tragedy is depersonalization--dying in an alien and sterile
area, separated from the spiritual nourishment that comes
from being able to reach out to a loving hand, separated
from the desire to experience the things that make life
worth living, separated from from hope.
