Pendulum of Hope

Living while dying may call for some fancy footwork.

People living with short life expectancies may vacillate between practical steps that prepare them for death and dreaming about what they’ll do if they survive beyond expectations. It is a miracle of human nature that we can manage the dance of living while dying. It’s okay to join patients in their wishes, while preparing them for what’s likely.
