A "Good Death"

I read an article from MSN Health & Fitness. Just quote some of them to share with you.

Having few regrets

Often quoted in the literature on death and dying are the tenets in The Four Things That Matter Most, by Ira Byock, a medical doctor who professes the need for a dying person to express four thoughts at the end of life:

I love you.
Thank you.
I forgive you.
Forgive me.

This supports the idea that, for many people, a good death requires ending life without unfinished business, and with reconciling damaged or broken relationships when possible.
