I heard something on the radio today that a failing body leads to a failure of dignity.

I guess that the sense of shock&betrayal that comes with a serious illness never goes away. The courage comes in coexisting with that sense of betrayal and living each day anyway. This is of course very hard work - and if the illness is painful one is distracted from it.

Those who are at peace with their impending death are often so in spite of having no better answers than the rest of us. I find this amazing - and heartening. Some day it'll be my turn to come up against the end of the line. I hope I do so with honor.
