Letting go

Last week at work I was deeply impacted by an observation I made at work. Death and dying is a natural part of my work, but something about two of our cases impacted me more than I have been before. The first case is a person whose life was instantly changed and the second has been a progressive loss. I really don't know what's worse. Seeing someone slowing being taken away by their own body, having that person disappear? The pro's and con's of both can be endless. My opinion is that this is fueled by fear of having life end well. In my experience everyone, no matter of after life beliefs, wants a peaceful end with all loose ends or damaged relationships content. I hope that these two families found meaning or peace in the situation that they was presented to them.
