"Last spring, on a visit to the Zicklin Residence, a new 18-bed hospice in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, only one of the four patients I interviewed admitted that she was dying. The others, despite the fact that they had needed medical prognoses of less than six months to get into Zicklin, all danced around the subject, and I, like their doctors and nurses, was hesitant to press the point. If they were choosing denial, who was I to force them to confront the ugly truth?"

Boy, ain't it the truth. I'm going through this with my mother. Irony abounds as my mother was a registered nurse and knows all about having seen it at least a few hundred times. Still, she refused to deal with the reality of her situation. Me, I'm saving one gun with one bullet for one reason.
