"They say death is simple—painless even. Some say it's better than the morphine. One time, and everything is done. There is no risk, no addiction, and the odds are over—nonexistent. Easy, isn't it?

They tell us that death is inevitable; there is no stopping it.

I believed it, too.

But death isn't simple. It isn't painless, and it can be stopped. It is ultimately the dying person's decision. Do they let go, or do they fight?

I didn't know what to do at first.

Dying really gives someone time to think. It changes people.

It changed me.

For the better."
