Moving on, moved on, which then again begs the question, where are they moving on to? But yeah, I don't think there's other terminology that's better for, generally speaking, everybody that could really speak to what it is. I mean, we know that there's death, people die, and it's the end of their body. You know, and then we think there's something beyond that.

So, I don't know.

So, I don't know.

Yeah. And I think people, there are people who speak in that way, psychic mediums, religious people. But in terms of being a hospice nurse and what's within my scope, you know, it's what it is. It's death. It's the person has clinically died. And beyond what happens there...

That's open to your belief and your interpretation, and it's not for me to say something that's going to allude to that, because you might be somebody who doesn't believe in that, or have a different belief in that, because you might be a Christian who believes it's heaven, and if I said something that alludes to something other than heaven, like reincarnation, that would be offensive. Right.

So as far as the clinical presentation of it, and what I communicate, it's gotta be death and dying, because that's where we've landed with this. But from the philosophical point of view, then yeah, I get exactly what you're saying, that death isn't necessarily the final thing.

And so then that's why I say if a person wants to say that their person went to heaven or they passed away, then that's perfectly fine. But if you're trying to work in this profession or provide comfort to somebody else, being able to acknowledge that this happened, it's just an easier way to let them know that you're not afraid to talk about that taboo topic of death.

You know, I think people would express regrets more if they were speaking to the chaplain. As a nurse, I've picked up things along the way, but most of the things that people regret are going to be what you expect. They wish they wouldn't have worked so much. They wish they would have stayed in better communication with their family. They wish they would have...

enjoyed food instead of dieting, that kind of thing can come out in conversation with people who are dying. But a lot of time, most of the time, people who are dying are spending less time regretful and more time trying to experience life for as long as they have it left.
