How much do we truly know about death?
Many people hold beliefs about end-of-life care that are, in fact, misconceptions.
For example, some believe that morphine shortens life, that “life-prolonging” treatment is always a painful and unwanted burden, or that they will be able to say goodbye to their loved ones at the very end.
The original text identifies these as the “six lies of end-of-life care.”
However, one patient saw through these falsehoods and, in doing so, took complete control of his final journey.
