Let us first begin by acknowledging that is impossible to “save a person’s life.” Death comes to all of us sooner or later. The most that we can hope to do through providing health care or treatment is to prolong a person’s life long enough to become comfortable with death. Death is a reality. To deny death, to be afraid of death is to deny and be afraid of life itself. It is only in the confrontation of our fear of death and our ultimate acceptance of the reality of death that we can begin to see life with clarity and acceptance. This is true of all people, whether they are directly confronted with a “life-threatening” disease or not. It is simply that people with AIDS, people whose death appears to be a little closer, are forced into a confrontation with death sooner than they had expected. Lessons, however, tend to come when we need and are ready for them, not necessarily when we want them.
