Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we send them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit terminally （晚期的） in patients— even when those patients are their parents. This deprives（剝奪） the dying patient of family members during the last few days of his life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning experience. Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed about 500 terminally in order to find out what they could teach us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of their families as well.

Many of them shared with us their great need to be informed, to be kept up to date on their medical condition and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to cope with the ing of detach and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance before death. 32． The elders of today39。s Americans________ .
