Well, working with critical patients, and especially in an aging society, you realize that, as the Bible says, dust you are and to dust you shall return. We are taught in school that human beings, as the living beings we are, are born, grow, reproduce, age, and then die. So, we are fine thinking about the early stages, but when it comes to aging and dying, we barely dare to look it in the face. It causes us discomfort. But as I was saying, seeing elderly patients die, whose quality of life was severely degraded due to their physical condition, brings me relief, because I know that by passing away they stop suffering the distressing life they were living at that point. However, many times I see family members with exaggerated reactions (at least from my point of view) to the death of these kinds of patients. Some reactions may be genuine, others surely acted out, but in any case, they make me understand that we are not as prepared as we should be for natural death as a normal phase of our lives. Hence, our awareness makes us suffer more than necessary when faced with an event that is inevitable for everyone.
