“Sharp I said: 'Oh yes, it's absolutely normal, but I don't have to like it. I hate it. And we can none of us avoid it, can we? That ultimate betrayal of the body, when your own flesh fails you.

All that personality and individuality gone into hiding, the big steps towards the end of her life. You see it often enough, Father Mahon, can you get used to the cruelty or death or does the hurt come fresh each time?” — Lesley Grant-Adamson
