which then prompted the letter (see second link) from a reader in conversation (yes!) with his dying brother...

this may be of huge help to us all long before our own deaths, as we sit with others...and a friend of mine reported his wife whose dying word was repeated over and over 'higher'--'higher'-- (Steve Jobs' last words were reportedly 'far out!' )...

In response to her article, a reader wrote: 'To my mind, no one has expressed more consoling words than the poet and undertaker Thomas Lynch, who in 'The Undertaking' wrote: "I've known the love of the ones who have loved me.
