Abstract
Dying patients are teachers who may help us understand the unique and dynamic nature of the walk through the Valley of the Shadow. This “walk” is experienced through a series of dramas which lead to the fulfillment of one's pilgrimage in either peace, or forlornness. These dramas are: The Drama of Shock; The Drama of Emotion; The Drama of Negotiation; the Drama of Cognition; The Drama of Commitment; The Drama of Completion.Keywords
