In the book

One man, writing in the grip of terminal cancer, said the diagnosis had proven to him beyond any doubt that he was loved by a great many people — friends and family who, once they knew the truth about his time, finally said the things people so foolishly leave unsaid. A wise teacher of mine used to say that how we die turns out to be as much a part of the lesson as how we live. The question this chapter exists to answer is therefore not "how do I avoid the end?" — you can't — but "what does the certainty of the end have to teach me about the hours before it?" By the last page I will have given you the answer I myself learned far too slowly. — The Landing (Death)
