Lucy Kalanithi : What makes life worth living in the face of death (transcript)
Summary
That is to know that death is a part of life.
Its reason is not that you die but because you can learn that living fully means accepting suffering. Being human doesn't happen despite suffering.
Engage in the full range of experience that means living and dying, and love and loss.
You can choose what fits with you, even after severe diagnosis.
When people better understand the possible outcomes of an illness, they have less found anxiety, greater to plan and less trauma for their families. And then, the family also have to accept them. Don't fight fate, but help each other through suffering to live.
