Though we try hard to go through life two by two or in groups, there are times, especially when death approaches, that the truth-that we are born alone and must die alone-breaks through with chilling clarity. I have heard many dying patients remark that the most awful thing about dying is that it must be done alone. Yet, even at the point of death, the willingness of another to be fully present may penetrate the isolation.
