"I have learned more about love, selflessness, and human understanding from the people I have met in this great adventure," says Anthony Perkins. "Dying isn't easy; nobody looks forward to it"; we shouldn't assume suffering is only about avoidance or suppression, he adds. In addition to unwanted, difficult, physical and emotional social strains that illness and dying impose, there are also experiences, interactions, opportunities of profound value for individuals and all who love them."
