    Shani, thank you for sharing from your heart and expertise! Your volunteer work and insight into this subject is not only heartwarming but informative in advocating for people who may be too fragile physically and mentally to do for themselves. To me, end-of-life is a sacred time for every human being! Kindness and compassion can connect us as brothers and sisters in the same human family! You walk the talk! Thank you!
