“Death is cruel, so cruel that even just its presence causes suffering. The constant anxiety, sadness and irritability, knowing that nothing will last forever. That all the things we do, make, and achieve, will vanish or be forgotten, including us. All this from the quiet, miserable, senseless neighbour that often visits when we least expect it.” DeathGriefSadnessDyingNurseHospital Book:The Dream To End All Dreams Source: The Dream To End All Dreams
“I stood in front of the stranger again. Now that I saw him in a lifeless state, I noticed that there was no change in the world around him after he had gone. Babies were being born on the floor above, their cries of life breaking off and floating down through the open window. Outside, trains still whizzed on by, the passengers oblivious to the tragic events that unfolded here every day. People in the next room laughed. Life went on. Life went on and the world continued to turn.” DeathGriefDyingNurseDoctorHospital Book:The Dream To End All Dreams Source: The Dream To End All Dreams
