This week: Living with Death
Most of us at one time or another must have considered dying; considered how we would feet if we knew about it in advance; how much would It affect those we leave behind. An idle speculation? Not for thousands of us. Many men and women know they are going to die, know almost exactly how much longer they have to live. How do these people adjust? What can they do for those they must leave behind? How are they affected when every day they find themselves living with death? And what is it like for those who must wait with them - and then live on after?
