Dying? Or Finding Oneself?


Kathleen Taylor has been a hospice counselor for many years. People ask her how she can sit everyday at the bedside of dying patients without getting burned out or depressed.

She says the number one regret she hears is "I wish I had the courage to live my life and not the life others expected me to live."

So, the question I have for you is this: Do we simply die or do we, through dying, find ourselves?
