The Circle of Love

As a physician who has been deeply privileged to share the most profound moments of people’s lives, including their final moments, let me tell you a secret. People facing death don’t think about what degrees they have earned, what positions they have held or how much wealth they have accumulated. At the end, what really matters – and is a good measure of the past life – is who you loved and who loved you. The circle of love is everything. – Dr.Bernadine Healy
