What do you want if you are dying?

What do you want if you are dying? Which of the senses are most important to you—do you see what I am saying, hear me, are you touched by what is going on? What do you smell, can you taste of something more juicy?

Are rituals important? Hugs? Beauty? Knowledge? Doing something good for someone else? Teaching your grandchildren? Communing with your dog? Being with friends, children, siblings, grandchildren? Working on closure with others, mutual forgiveness, mending fences? Saying Thank you? Saying I love you? Music? Celebrations? Trips? Experiences? Memorials, memoirs, making sense of your life?
