And it's a completely different language to address the loss of independence.
Yeah, exactly.
So they were taking it as a natural moment in life.
And that made us reflect again about dementia.
Because we change all the time.
So the person that I am now is different from the person that I was 10 years ago or 5 years ago or before my children were born.
And people with dementia are also changing.
Why is their previous self before having a diagnosis with dementia worthier than their current self with dementia?
And that made us think, and that's part of the beauty of this kind of cross-cultural study.
Because we have the opportunity to look at our own realities with different eyes.
And that's very beautiful.
Yeah, beautiful sentence, Karen.
That brings me to think about one of the most beautiful sentences that I listened to when I was learning palliative care 20 years ago.
That was an interview by Cicely Saunders when she
She was asked about what was the most important advice that she would like to give to young people entering medicine or palliative care.
And then she said, listen to your patients, listen to their needs, because they will tell you.
They will tell you what they need.
They will tell you what they can achieve.
And this is when we try to figure out a good death, and to a large extent, the whole field of palliative care emerged to make this experience of dying better, less of a failure to address suffering as it had been throughout history.
And the first step is not to impose to people what we believe about death is, but to be open to listen to them.
