My mother recently died peacefully at the age of 90. On her final morning she was briefly awake, surrounded by loving family, and then she gently slipped away. I was reminded of Kathryn Mannix’s excellent teaching about death being a natural physiological process.1 End-of-life care is often neglected, but we need care and support for dying as much as for living.
