We don't know how... or more accurately our loved ones don't know how to do it with us. I like the way hospice works but would prefer to just be at home and pass in my sleep. The first problem we face is that our culture does not view dying as a positive outcome for a life well lived. Summers' book is the epitome of anti-life cycle, don't look old, because there is something detestable about that. Your own mortality is an unthinkable quandary. We look at all this as something awful that just doesn't happen to the best people. So we don't want to be involved with someone who is showing age or dying. If you could change that consciousness, you would do us all a tremendous favor.
