In the old days, children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. Now this is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters who have never been close by during of the birth a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member.
　　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 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 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. We were most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potential outcome.
　　It is important for family members, and doctors and nurses to understand these patients’ communication in order to truly understand their needs, fears and fantasies. Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their reat 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 deal with the coming of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance before death.

It’s only after three weeks into a new job that I made a serious mistake. My boss called it “extremely embarrassing” in a company-wide e-mail — which, 　 31　 , he wrote because he felt he needed to explain that what I did was something 　32　 in the company should ever do.

I wish I　 33　 give a good excuse for what I did. At the very least, I wish I could explain it somehow — 　 34　 it on youth, inexperience or ignorance. Unfortunately, I’m 　 35　 , experienced and I know better.

　 　 36　 I work with some very kind and compassionate(富于同情心的) people. For the past couple of days many of them have taken time to　 37　 by my desk and offer comfort, encouragement and support. Some have shared with me similar 　 38　 they have made. Evidently I’m not the only “ 　39　 ” person here.

One of the exchanges I had this week was with Lois, the much-honored, much-respected professional who 　 40　 the desk right next to mine. Lois was completely 　 41　 about her work, and to be honest I was a little nervous about how she would　 42　 to such an extremely embarrassing incident.

As I expected , Lois didn’t pass over the　 43　 when she saw me the next day. She mentioned it directly,　 44　 with empathetic consideration. She listened to my　 45　 . Just as I was ready to express my regrets, she brought my self-pity partly to a(n)　 46　 .

“It happened”, she said, “There’s nothing you can do to 　 47　 that. It happened. But it’s over now. It’s　 48　 . It’s in the past. You need to let it go, and move on.” And with that she returned her　 49　 to her work, as if to say, “We’re done here.”

I beat myself up for weeks. At such times I need to remember those　 50　 words: It’s over. It’s done. Let it go. And mostly, move on.
