We feel betrayed by the doctor when we are told there is no more to be done to hold back the disease. But our anger stems not from the doctor, rather our culture which tells us we can buy our way out of anything. It started with not wanting to be a burden to our families, so we saved—so we could buy help in old age. We forgot we could walk a path together, and that can be one of the bright spots of life. Indeed. It might be the very center of life—this walking together.
