In this talk, Veteran Emergency Medical Technician Matthew O’Reilly describes a pattern of three needs he has noticed in his work with people in the last moments of their lives. They are:

Need for Forgiveness

Need for Remembrance

Need to have lived a Meaningful Life

I think this talk can be helpful for encouraging self-reflection about what our priorities might be for our own lives, as well as for thinking about how we use ourselves as helpers to people we know personally, or serve professionally who may be approaching the end of their lives.
