"... amid that unique suffering involved by severe brain damage, the suffering often felt more by families than by patients, it is not merely the physicians who do not see the full significance. The families who gather around their beloved - their beloved whose sheared head contained battered brains - do not usually recognize the full significance either. They see the past, the accumulation of memories, the freshly felt love, all represented by the body in before them."

When a person is seriously ill or dies.. it is not the person himself/herself who gets most affected... it is the people around them who get jolted. A person who dies... just dies... but the people left behind... remember and have to live on despite the pain. THAT MY FRIEND IS LIFE!!!!!
